How do you make your nails look like a professional did them?
- Don't pile it on too thick. Apply thin layers of nail polish and spread them out.
- Wait between coats.
- Toss your old polish.
- Keep a "quick dry" top coat handy — both at work and at home.
- Clip off the excess.
- Wear gloves.
- Remember: Practice makes perfect.
How do I make my nails look classy?
- Remove Cuticles. Getting rid of cuticle buildup at the edge of your nail reveals more of the nail plate itself, so nails instantly look longer, says celebrity manicurist Geraldine Holford.
- Create an Almond Shape.
- Go Nude.
- Contour with Dark Colors.
- Choose a French Manicure.
- Try Nail Art.
How do you pose your nails for pictures?
To capture a great nail pic, first nourish the cuticles to look moisturized. Pose the clients' hands to be flattering for their nail length and shape as some clients' fingers twist and turn. I prefer the fingers to be close together and up-close. This is the best way to showcase the nails!
