A dotting tool can be replaced with a hairpin, and striping tape can guide clean blocks or tips. Work on fully dry base colour, keep correction polish nearby, and seal raised edges with two thin passes of top coat.

How to Create Easy Nail Art Designs Nails
- 1
Prep
Shape the nails and gently buff the surface. Push back cuticles and clean with alcohol.
- 2
Base
Apply a thin base coat and cure or let it dry fully before adding colour.
- 3
Colour
Build short in two thin coats rather than one thick one.
- 4
Seal
Finish with a top coat, capping the free edge to stop early chipping.
- 5
Finish
Add cuticle oil and moisturiser. Reapply oil daily to keep the finish from dulling.
Extensions, hard gel, and advanced curing techniques are best handled by a trained nail artist. The steps above focus on methods that can hold up safely at home.
