3. Use a white nail polish as your basecoat to make your nail pop
Naturally, the tint of your fingers will change the colour of your polish. To get the paint's true colour, add a layer of white nail polish first, and then go over it with your coloured polish.
4. Use the tip of a pencil eyeliner to place tiny nail art accessories on your nails
When your fingers are too big to grab and place tiny jewels, use the tip of an eyeliner or lip pencil instead. The end of a pencil is tacky enough to grip the jewel from above and won't get in the way of your design.
5. Mix loose pigments with clear polish to make a custom nail shade
Mix a little bit of eyeshadow pigment with clear polish. Mix it all together with a cotton swab, grab a brush, and try out your new colour.
