Nail Care:

Clean and file your nails. For clean nail art, simply push back your cuticles.

Base Coat:

A transparent base coat protects nails and smooths nail polish.

French Basics:

Adhesive tape or nail guides make French manicures easy. Use the guide to add a white tip to a neutral foundation.

Stripes and dots:

Use a bobby pin or toothpick to make dots or stripes on your nails.

Gradient Nails

Gradient nail polish with a makeup sponge. Use the sponge to blend colors on your nails.

Glitter accent:

For a sparkling accent nail, apply clear nail paint and dip your wet nail into loose glitter.

Watermarble Nails:

Drop nail paint colors into a small cup of room-temperature water. Dip your nails into toothpick designs.

Stickers and Decals:

Nail stickers and decals make elaborate patterns easy without stable hands.

Tape Designs

Tape your nails before painting to make geometric designs. Removing the tape reveals the design after polishing.

A matte top coat turns any nail paint matte.
