The first thing that you should do is to wipe away any traces of old nail polish with the use of a cotton ball or pads that is soaked in a nail polish remover before you apply a fresh coat of nail polish. Even if you only plan to paint a clear nail polish, this will prevent any uneven and easy to chipped nails.
Before anything else, apply a clear base coat on the nails once they are dry and clean. Base coat will aid in your nail polish to be smooth and even. Mix the nail polish by rolling the bottle in between your hands. Never shake the bottle since this will create air bubbles that can affect the quality of your nail polish. Unscrew the top of the bottle then wipe the excess polish on the brush to the opening of the bottle so that it will just run back down inside. Swipe a stripe of nail polish on the middle of your nail straight from your cuticle to the tip of your nails. Swipe the edges as well to have that complete finish. This technique will ensure that the center of your nails have more polished than the sides. It is wise to begin swiping on your smallest finger first and up to your thumb. This reduces the risk of accidentally rubbing the polish off on your wet nails. For manicures and for unsteady hands, you can prop them on top of a countertop or table. For pedicures, you can rest your hand on top of the floor beside your foot instead of your hands hovering above it.
Never forget to add the second coat. This will ensure that all your nails are evenly applied. Allow all your nails to dry completely for not more than a half hour before you apply a protective coat on top of all your nails. A clear top will give you that smooth and polish nails as well.
