DIY Manicures are SO underrated.
Yes, it might be a little messy at first, but here's a tip- Do you nails at night, a few hours before bed.
All that excess polish that strays to the skin on the sides of your nails will flake off in the sheets,
while you're doing the dishes, whatever. By noon the following day, you'll have a flawless DIY manicure to show off. Here's my latest manicure, with a how-to!

I have a lot of people asking me, "How do you get your polish to go on so smooth?!!"
Simple: TAKE CARE OF YOUR NAILS. Having a clean, smooth canvas to work on makes
a world of difference. Start by removing any old polish. Follow by moisturizing hands, and
rubbing some moisturizer into your cuticles. Push your cuticles back with a cuticle pen.
File your nails into whatever shape you desire.
Buff any ridges out of your nails with a nail block. Apply a nail treatment as a base coat.

It's also nightmare-ish to remove.
