Best Nail Polish

It is said that your hands give out your true age. So it is very important not only to pay attention to your face, but also take care of your hands. The best way to pamper your hands is to go for regular manicures. Go for a weekly hand massage to make your hands look good and to increase circulation and promote nail growth.
Applying nail polish is an instant way of grooming your hands and giving them a perfect look. There are many different shades of nail polish available and you can choose one to match your outfit and/or skin tone.

Best Nail Paint Colors

The best nail polish colors for people with long fingers are any darker shades of pink, plum, coral and maroon. Avoid nail polish in red color if you have very long nails as this looks very unattractive. If you have short stubby fingers, then the best nail polish colors are pale shades of pink, browns and nude shades. There are different varieties of nail paint that are available to suit your particular needs. Nail polish or nail enamel are available in different formulas like chip resistant formulas, quick drying formulas and nail strengthening formulas. If you love the sophistication of French manicure, but are bored with the same pale colors, opt for glittery light pink or white nail polish. OPI's Hearts and Tarts and Passion are two of the best nail polish shades for a French manicure. You should also choose nail polish colors based on your skin tone since what might look great in a nail polish bottle might look unflattering when applied on your nails. The best nail enamel colors for fair skin are bright pink, purple, berry red and nudes. Women who have a dusky skin tone can carry off shades of gold, russet, chocolate, coral and lighter shades of pink.

Tips for Applying Nail Polish

Here are some tips on applying nail polish that will make you look glamorous and well-groomed.

• Remove all traces of old nail varnish from your nails before applying a new coat of nail polish.
• Use a good quality nail polish remover soaked in a cotton ball and wipe your nails in one single quick motion.
• Avoid using nail polish remover that contains acetone as this might damage your nails and make the polish chip off easily.
• File your nails with a nail filer and avoid filing the corners of the nails as it makes the nail brittle.
• If you have short fingers avoid shaping your nails in a square tip as it makes your fingers look stubby. Oval shape in nails looks flattering on all types of finger shapes.
• Before applying polish, swipe your nails with a nail polish remover. This is because your nails might have traces of oil or dirt on them which will cause the nail polish to smudge or chip.
• Apply a base coat over your nails before applying nail polish as it helps in strengthening the nails.
• Wipe the nail polish brush on the mouth of the bottle to remove excess nail paint and then sweep the nail polish on each nail in three strokes.
• For best nail enamel application, apply a thin layer of polish on the middle of the nail and then one stroke on the left and one on the right. Repeat this technique on all the fingernails of your hands.
• Allow the first coat to dry completely, before applying a second coat of nail polish.
• If you do not want your nail polish to smudge then avoid moving your fingers for a few minutes after applying nail polish.
• Apply a thin layer of a transparent topcoat so that the nail polish looks glossy and the nail paint does not chip.
• Use an orangewood stick that has been dipped in a nail polish remover along each side of the nails to fix any mistakes.
