Nothing is more flattering than polished nail polish and long, tousled hair, but when it comes to nail art, girls with perfect nails tend to go ahead and have it all. From the tiny cute ones that make you feel like a child, to the intricate ones that look like a sculpture, to the grown-up styles, the handiwork on woman’s nails is truly an art form.
While you may be able to get a Pinterest-worthy sparkly design from your local nail salon, finding the right polish for your feet is one of the most difficult things to do. Just wait till you get to a nail salon and watch the other ladies get their nails done and they’ll tell you exactly what a challenge that is.
Fortunately, Eryn Sheean, the cofounder of Thrive Nail Co., came to our rescue with the 20 things every girl with perfect nails does everyday. Ahead, she shares her top tips for keeping nails looking like a rockstar.

Tips For Sculpted Nails: “I’m obsessed with completing a really cool nail impression. The best place for this is on the side of your finger, or on the nail bed itself, and resting the tip on your thumb while cutting. The key with this technique is to keep the nail fairly flat when you’re cutting, as your art is going to get all kinds of squashed.”
Tips For Nail Art: “In my favorite nail art technique, I mix nail polish colors and create mosaic patterns on each nail. After that, it’s all about getting to that perfect base color, then adding fun, colorful tips. The trick for this is to figure out the best colors to pair with each other so the nail art looks less heavy, but is still alive and funky. You can find exact pairs here.”
Tips For Quality Nails: “By injecting a little polish and top coat into your nails, you get this amazing finish. The final result looks like the manicurist used pressure to hold the nail in place but didn’t apply a constant amount of paint. Not only is it really in-line with what’s happening inside the nail but also it’s less abrasive. Bottom line: it’s the best way to cover up peeling and dull edges.”
Tips For Natural Nails: “Here are a few things that keep natural nails looking their best: Never go for polish treatments. Plus, using a regular nail polish remover before use is a must; different nail polishes contain different ingredients and even different formulations, so nothing dries out or chips more than the first layer of polish.”
Tips For Creasey Nails: “Use a conditioner like OPI’s Premium Drinks to your nails throughout the day. Many great conditioners come with anti-bacterial and anti-fungal ingredients to treat nail bed bacteria and extend nail life.”
Tips For Time Saving Nail Polish: “If you’re looking for a straight pomade, cheap ones tend to wear out in a day and even when you apply them every night, they’ll eventually dry out. Instead, invest in really good pomade like the Baja brand. You can use it on your elbows and knees and it’ll also add volume and herringbone detail.”
