Why Broke Erasers Aren’t Always the Answer to Your Broken Nails
When your nails are bleached down to their darkest shades, it may take a little longer for your polish to cure. Often times it’s because of these white scratches that occur when a polish is first applied to your skin. What you can do, though, is coat your nails in a clear polish prior to application. I prefer using bygones which are the same formulation as the base coat. After this I finish my nail polish by lightly applying a clear taupe to the top coat. I am able to have a completely clean, natural looking manicure.
Below are a few tips on how to get your nails whiter — breakable nails at that — while at the same time having a waterproof manicure.
Tip 1: Place your upper left thumb and index finger on opposite sides of the paper and bend your thumb toward your index finger.
Tip 2: Subtract the amount of time it will take to reach your nail polish. Once you arrive at your area, make a small circle of indention in the paper that is approximately 4 inches across. Place the tip of your nail in the inner circle and your index finger in the outer circle.

Tip 3: After applying the top coat, gently run your fingers around the manicure circle while holding the two ends of the breakable mark parallel to each other.
Tip 4: Take a small dab of polish and pull the top of the broken nail along with the pencil mark down and only the edges of the marking are showing. Repeat this process 3 to 4 times until all of the edges are visible.
Tip 5: Once you have the entire nail bleached out, gather up all the nails in the center of the stain and gently stroke them along with the paint around your nails. A lightly applied clear polish prevents dirt, oil, or other contaminants from seeping in.
