Great job for your first time! I've been painting my nails forever and still look like a 3 year old got into mom's makeup bag sometimes.

  1. polish is made to stick to nails, not skin. If it gets on your finger it'll wash off by the end of the day -ish.

  2. The more coats = the thicker the polish = the longer it takes to dry.

  3. Clear base coats help it stick to the nail. Clear top coats help keep it from chipping.

Happy polishing!

I recently started paining my nails. It's definitely very handy that it easily gets of skin because I can't for the life of me manage to only paint my nails. I'm currently looking to get those top coats, because the nail polish chips off pretty easily after a few days, which is quite annoying.

Oh yeah i don't even bother trying to "stay inside the lines" anymore & just go wash my hands after.

Look into gel polish. It stays waaaaaaay longer. Kits on Amazon go from 25 to 30 bucks.
