I can’t thank you enough for providing these links and instructions on painting nails. I’ve been painting mine all of my life but I was also painting the cuticle as well. My manicures always turned out terrible until I found your article. I am going to try Miss Jenn’s instructions. I watched the whole video which I found invaluable. You are the best, Ana!

I just ordered Pure Nail Oil on Amazon and I can’t wait to start my first 3-day hydration treatment. Finally, a consumer-developed product based on science instead of marketing hype!

I don’t waste my time with speed drying nail polish, and I could swear that quick-drying topcoats compromise the life of my manicures. So I’m wondering if I can also use Pure Nail Oil in place of Qtica Half Time or OPI Drip Dry. These “drying drops” list these ingredients: Disiloxane (a type of silicone), Dimethicone (another type of silicone), Simmondsia Chinesis (Jojoba seed oil), Tocopherol (Vitamin E).

I think you’ve totally nailed it Jenna (no pun intended). I have the same problem when I go back to do the second coat too soon. You also may want to only do the push, then pull with the first coat.

Then with the 2nd and 3rd coat (if necessary), try to start your brush just before the previous polish line, then when you touch the brush down, it pushes the polish to match with your first layer. Then just pull the polish forward. So with additional coats you’re not really doing the push back motion, more like a gentle squish down, then pull forward. ~Ana

I’ve been using the “push, then pull” technique for a while now, with great success, but lately I seem to end up with a bald(ish) spot right about where the center of my lunula would be. Polish brand doesn’t seem to have any effect. Am I just rushing the dry time between coats? Thanks for any advice you have!

You’re very welcome Kirsten! Going slow is a challenge because we’re under a “drying” time crunch. This is why I don’t like “speed drying” polishes. They don’t give you time to be careful. It’s far better to use regular polishes, taking your time, then use a great Quick Drying TopCoat to dry all of the layers quickly so you can get back to life. Have fun! ~Ana

I think the part I struggle with the most is going S L O W…I’m just not that patient. LOL! I’ll give it a go and see how it turns out.

Thanks!
