Materials:
- Nail polishes of your liking
- Base/top coat (a $0.99 bottle from Walmart will do the trick)
- Tissues/plastic bag
- Nail polish remover
- Cotton balls/q-tips
- Radio/TV/phone
1. Get in the mood to paint your nails by going on YouTube and watching some nail tutorials. I personally enjoy cutepolish and simplynailogical the most.
2. Realize that you are NOWHERE near as skilled as any nail guru on YouTube.
3. Opt for a simple design, aka just painting your nails without any special design.
4. Gather your materials. Find a comfortable chair to sit in. You're going to be there for a looooong time.
5. Begin by laying the tissues/plastic bag down on a flat surface. This is so you don't ruin whatever furniture you're painting your nails on. Trust me, it's going to get pretty messy here in a few steps.
6. Apply the base coat to your nails. Or don't. It really doesn't matter.
7. CAREFULLY open the nail polish you're going to use. CAREFULLY apply it to your nails, making sure not to get any on your skin (a skill I have yet to master). Let this coat dry for a few minutes (too bad you won't).
8. Apply the second coat of nail polish. Again don't get any on your skin (and again, this is impossible). Let this coat dry for a few minutes (but you won't).
9. Believe that every thing is going well.
10. Move your hand 1/10 of a mm too close to a hard surface and completely destroy one of your nails.
11. Bang your head against the wall (shout out to Sia).
12. Remove all of the nail polish you slaved over for an hour or more.
13. Put your materials away before your mom yells at you.
14. Go get your nails done by a professional.
15. Tell everyone you did them yourself.
