I never knew there was a “process” involved with painting nails. I have painted my toe nails since I was a kid and I just applied the nail polish and never gave it a second thought..until last week. I had a pedicure done and I learned that I have being doing it wrong all these years (I hang my head in shame). First you need to apply a base coat, then the nail polish and last is the top coat….who knew! I was very happy with the final results.
