Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

Nails are a pretty easy way to make an instant beauty statement, and as one of my favorite things about nails is how easy it is to make them look pretty without going all-out over the top. Remember that any time you use nail polish, it’s all about lightness and shine without adding a lot of color. To make a light touch of polish possible, read these tips below:

1. Use less polish : You don’t have to use heavy-duty polish. A smaller load means less to mess up your nails!

Try one shade : Now that you’ve read the above, it’s time to make an easy hairpin turn and try a new color. I love pale oranges, pretty pastels, and soft mossy shades.

Try two shades : Try two colors to balance out your manicure. You’ll see two shades are much more pleasing to the eye than one darker shade that is washed out by another lighter shade that was previously applied.

Give your color some time : Next time, give your color two or three weeks to rest. This will make it last longer and give it the correct shape for the finish and layers.

All of the above apply to polish at only a few times a year, so you’re saving yourself a lot of time and trouble in the long run. Have you tried any of these tips? Do you have any favorites that you want to share? Tell us below!
