[HANNAH] Hi! Its Hannah!
Let's start with step 1,
which is removing any old nail polish and cleansing the nail of excess oils with nail polish remover.

For step 2, use a high grit nail buffer to give your nails a buff for a smooth surface.
This will help the polish to go on smoother without any bumps
and it's totally OK to give your nails a light buff every once in a while.
Wipe the nails with a cotton ball to remove any dust.
[🎶]
Next, apply a good base coat to help your manicure last longer
and protect your nails from staining.
[🎶]
Apply liquid latex as close to your nails as possible.
This is a great trick if your hands are really shaky
and you get nail polish around your skin and cuticles or when you paint your non-dominant hand.
[🎶]
Step 5 is to use a liquidy nail polish.
If yours is old and thick and is just not applying well,
grab some nail polish thinner and apply a couple of drops into the bottle and it should help restore it.
[🎶]
Begin applying the polish to the nail by first doing a stroke down the middle,
then, to one side, the other side and then, blending it in.
[🎶]
Do the same thing for the second coat
[🎶]
and don't forget to cap the free edge.
[🎶]
Now remove the liquid latex.
I've had a lot of practice so I don't usually need the latex,
but you can use this trick if you tend to get the polish on your skin.
Also, take a small brush and remover to perfect the polish line by the cuticle.
This will help the manicure look clean and neat.
[🎶]
For step 8, apply a fast-drying top coat to all of your nails.
[🎶]
Spray a nail dryer to decrease the chances of you denting or smudging your manicure because this will help it dry faster.
I learned about O.P.I's RapiDry when I worked backstage at New York Fashion Week; and it's awesome!
For the last step, apply cuticle oil once your nails are totally dry to moisturize your cuticles.
