You can tell a lot about a woman by the way they style their nails. For most women, their nails need to be perfect and flawless all the time! But sometimes, it can be hard to have flawless nails, especially if you’re going to paint your nails by yourself. Let us give you a few hacks that you could use to achieve gorgeous nails!

Can’t open that slippery glitter nail polish? Wrap a rubber band around the cap of the nail polish to get a better grip.
Hate bubbles on your nails? Store your nail polish bottles in the fridge. It will keep them fresh and will prevent your nail polish from bubbling up when applying.
If you want to apply a neon colored nail polish, apply white nail polish as a base coat, it will give the color the perfect pop.
Want to make a DIY matte nail polish? Add some eyeshadow powder to clear nail polish and shake it. Apply it as a top coat to your dry nail polish.
A fast way to remove glittery nail polish is by using foil and cotton. Soak the cotton ball in nail polish remover, place it on your nail and wrap the foil around it for a few minutes.
Don’t know how to fix smudged nail polish? It’s easy! Dip a makeup brush in nail polish remover, then very gently go over your smudged nail polish, so you can smooth the smudge and get an even surface, making it blend with the existing nail polish coat. Finish off by applying another coat of nail polish.
Your nail polish will last longer if you use gloves when washing the dishes.
Always file your nails in one direction, as going back and forth creates friction, which has an impact on your nail’s health.
Wet your finger tips and your nail clippers before trimming your nails, this will not let the nail fly away.
Got a big collection of polishes? If you find it hard to find the color that you’re looking for, create some cute swatch stickers for the lids so you can see at a glance which color you’re looking for.
Submerging your nail polish bottle into hot water for a few minutes will unstick the nail polish! Yay for hot water!
Life is too short to wait a million years for your nails to be totally dry. Soak your newly painted nails into icy cold water for a few minutes to speed up the drying process.
Attempting to make the perfect polka dots nail art? Try to make your own dotting tool by sticking a pin in the end of a pencil eraser. Sounds crazy but it works!
