  • Nail polish wearer here. First of all, congrats!

    My recommendation: buy a base coat. This is a completely clear “polish” that is used for protecting the nail from staining from color polishes. A base coat is great as it’s great practice for “the real thing” (i.e. color polishes). Imagine painting a piece of paper with water, that’s basically it.

    Once you do start with colors, the best advice I can give is to put on a few light coats, not one thick layer. Multiple thin layers will give you a better result.

    One more thing: patience and practice. Your first attempt probably won’t be great, and that’s ok. Keep practicing.
