    Use acetone, nail polish remover, or alcohol to remove oil on your nail.
    You can also use a buffer to buff away any shine or oil from your nail.
    Do not touch your nails after buffing until you put your base coat on.

  3. File your nail the right way

    DO NOT file your nails in a back and forth motion as that will make your nails somewhat jagged.
    Filing your nails in one direction might help prevent them from breaking and snagging on things.

  4. Applying nail polish

    Make sure you do not have too much nail polish on the brush. Put a dot of nail polish to the upper middle of your nail and pull it down to the tip of your nail. Repeat and pull down to both sides of your nail.
    Do Not apply more nail polish to areas you might have missed because this will create a problem for you.
    Wait for your first nail polish coat to completely dry before applying your second coat of nail polish.

  5. Applying the clear top coat of nail polish

    Wait for your second coat of color nail polish to completely dry before applying your clear coat.
    Apply the clear coat nail polish to the tip (edge) of your fingernails as well because it will help your nail polish stay on longer and might help prevent your nail from chipping.

    You can apply chapstick, clear liquid latex, or Elmer’s school glue on your cuticles so you can easily peel it off after your final coat of nail polish dries.
    Apply Sally Hansen Base Coat Big Peel Off around your cuticles.
    You can apply chapstick to your cuticles and then spray it with hairspray – The hairspray can get on your nail because the hairspray can also be the base coat for your nail polish.
    You can also add olive oil to a cotton ball and apply it to your cuticles to hydrate them.

  7. How to remove dark color nail polish

    Do not rub your nail polish remover in an upward motion because that helps the nail polish to get into your cuticles.
    Remove your color nail polish by rubbing it off in a downward motion.
    You can apply any hand cream on your cuticles and nail polish before removing nail polish.
    HINT: Apply a clear base coat of nail polish. Before applying, wear dark or red color nail polish on your nails. Applying color nail polish without a base coat can be challenging to remove without the above hacks.

    Apply nail polish over your chipped nail polish and rub off- repeat the previous step if needed and then apply nail polish and let it dry completely before touching anything.
