I’ve been using nail polish ever since I discovered it years ago but I never realized that there’s actually a standard way of applying it! Janindu, my teacher, started off with an even more basic beginning that I imagined, first demonstrating, with a plastic nail mounted on a stick, how to buff the nail, sanitize it with a spray, put on a base coat for protection (apparently nail polish contains nitroglycerine, a chemical used in explosives!), put on two layers of polish and finally the clear top coat for that final shine.
Didn’t draw anything but she taught me how to use an ‘orange stick’ which is basically just a splint that’s used to pick up small decorative objects such as beads. She demonstrated how to fix glitter, beads and stickers onto nails and then let me have a go too. Personally I found my first try a bit overdone...I guess I went overboard in my interest. Can’t wait to actually start painting though!
