今天我们要一起分享一下如何才能涂好指甲油?马上要过年啦!很多爱美的女孩子都会想要让指甲也美美的喜气洋洋的过年。但要是指甲油涂坏了,整个好心情都没有了!所以赶快来学学涂好指甲油的小秘招吧!

Step 1

1. Start off with a clean nail, make sure the surface is nail polish and oil free.
第一步:首先在涂指甲油前一定要保证指甲的干净。指甲表面要抛一下光,然后确保指甲上清清爽爽没有油!

Step 2

2. Apply your base coat or ridge filler. This prevents staining and chipping. Let it dry.
第二步:涂上指甲底油或者是指甲修补液打底。这样做可以使得指甲油的颜色不会直接染到指甲上,也可以预防指甲表层脱落破碎。

Step 3

3. Place a drop of polish at the center of the nail, a bit above the cuticle.
第三步:涂一滴指甲油在指甲的指缘前方的中心位置。

Step 4

4. Carefully push the drop towards the cuticle, leaving just a small gap.
第四步:轻轻的将指甲油像指缘内推,留下一点边缘。

Step 5

5. Now move your brush upwards making a straight line till the end of the nail.
第五步:现在把指甲油的刷子向上画出一条直线,直到指甲最外侧。

Step 6

6. Go back to the base of the nail and swipe the polish along the curve of the nail.
第六步:再将刷子回到指缘内侧,沿着指甲的弧线刷指甲油。

Step 7

7. Keep dragging the polish until the whole side of the nail is covered.
第七步:保持以直线涂抹指甲油,直到指甲的半边被指甲油全部覆盖。

Step 8

8. Repeat step 6, but do this on the other side of the nail.
第八步:重复第六步,不过这一次是涂指甲的另一半边。

Step 9

9. Repeat step 7, but do this on the other side of the nail.
第九步:重复第七部,同样是涂抹另一半边。

Step 10

10. If necessary apply a 2nd or 3rd coat. Finish with a (quick drying) top coat.
第十步:如果有必要,可以给指甲图上两三层。最后涂抹上快干的指甲保护液。

TIPS:

If you're not that good at painting your non-dominant hand, start with painting your dominant hand first. You'll be less shaky. Move around the fingers you are painting, instead of moving your brush a lot.
如果你不是个涂指甲油的高手,不太会涂左手,或者你是左撇子不太会用右手。那么就先用比较“灵活”的那只手来给另一只手涂。这样就不会过于抖动。涂指甲油的时候要移动手指,而不是用手移动刷子。
