Tips:
Don't forget to use a base coat when using dark nail colours, you don't want to stain your nails.
Always use a top coat for a longer lasting finish.
If you are on a budget you can substitute fancy nail tools for toothpicks or hair clips, they are a cheap alternative but give the same effects as a nail tool.
