Perfect Manicure

Hello everyone! 

  So, I've decided to make another post about how to paint your nails. This time is a little bit different from the one I've made last year (Daily Tip - How to paint your nails?), since I'll be telling you the way I do it. 

  To reach the perfect manicure, or pedicure, this is what you have to do:

1) Cleaning. Before you start painting your nails, it is always necessary to have them properly cleaned. After taking care of your nails (filing, fixing your cuticles, etc) get a cotton pad soaked in nail polish remover, and clean any extra fat you might have.

2) Base coat. After cleaning your nails, always wear a base nail polish. A base coat will protect your natural nails from discoloration and it will make your nail polish last longer.

3) Starting of. First of all, you apply a single drop of nail polish at the center of your nail.

4) Move your brush down, leaving a little space away from the cuticles to make your nails look longer.

5) After moving it down, move your brush up until the tip of your nail. Remember to only make vertical swipes.

6) From the same dot you've made before, paint your nails down - left and down - right to fill in all your nail. Repeat this in all of your nails.

7) Let it dry. Wait some time between painting each coat, and after you've painted all of your nails wait around 10 minutes to make sure it is fully dry.

8) Top coat. When they're all dried out, apply a fast drying top coat to give more shine to your nail and to make your nail polish last longer.

  And that's it! In just around 20 minutes you'll have the perfect flawless manicure you are always wishing for! I hope you've enjoyed this post.

Glittering Blue Nails

Hello everyone!

  I'm finally on my school break, and now I have more free time to do whatever I like, such as painting my nails properly! 

  This past week, I wore "Glittering Blue Nails", with Kiko - 295 Cerulean Blue, that I recently bought, and some few silver glitter on top. It's simple, fast, and pretty. 

  All I needed was:

1) Base coat nail polish;

2) Cerulean Blue nail polish;
3) Silver Glitter nail polish;
4) Top coat nail polish.

  It's super simple, all you have to do after applying your base coat is to paint your nail with a couple of blue coats, grab the glitter polish and remove the excess from the brush (so that you can have glitter on your nail without making it thicker) and after it all dried, apply a top coat. And it's done.

  I hope you've enjoyed this week nail art.

  Kisses,
