Can’t open your nail bottles? In a glass bowl, cover the polish with hot water, wait three to five minutes and add a rubber band for an extra grip.
To check to see if your nails are dry, submerge your hands into ice water for three to five minutes. If water bubbles on your nail beds, they’re ready to go.
Want to amp up your nail design? Tape off a section of your nail to create a geometric, color-blocking look with a second color.
If you want to make your nails more glam, add some glitter. Simply start with a base coat and one color coat, dip wet nail into glitter, rinse off the excess glitter and finish with a top coat.
