Avoid air bubbles

Nothing is as frustrating as air bubbles on your freshly painted nail, right? It just makes your paint look so rough and messy which is actually supposed to be smooth. It’s just not at all appealing to look at. You may feel air bubbles are not under your control and you can only pop it after application. But it’s not true. Start with rolling the bottle between your hands instead of shaking it. It’s actually the shaking that makes the content of the bottle so bubbly. This way you can get rid of a bubbly surface. 

Nail stain removal

If you want to master a manicure at home, keep in mind that you always start on a clean slate. Your nails should be clean without any residue of the last color you applied. Even if you have removed the nail paint, there are chances that your nails appear yellow. Some nail paints or consistently polishing the nails can leave a yellow mark on the nails. Get rid of any yellowishness by applying a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda.
