How I paint my nails - Picture and video tutorial includin my cleanup routine

Hello lovelies!

Finally! I've created tutorial about how I paint my nails and I hope it will help at least one person :D I took a lot of inspiration in how I paint my nails now from Lacquerized back in the days.

The video tutorial is my first ever video so it is not the best but it will give you an idea. Later on I will redo it in a better quality and with a dark polish :)

Thanks for an amazing video!! I used to use nail polish remover for the clean-up and that sometimes didn't work or created an even bigger mess!! I will definitely try this myself, this time with pure acetone :)

I just have to tell ya that the first time i used your method ( i used to lay my hand flat) i had way better control of the paint and was able to create the rounding effect on the edge by the cuticle. and the paint job itself was the best i had ever done! thanks! quick question what is your favorite base coat? i have been using orley bonder. where can u find Seche Vite at?

Hi Ana, thank you very much!

Hi, I always tend to use thicker coats so I can apply just two. I use Seche Vite fast drying topcoat which is my no.1 as it dries polish really fast so i never have a problem with smudging. Also Seche is really glossy!

hi this is a great vid, but just a quick question.. it looks like you use a really thick layer. doesnt this take ages to dry, or leave the nails "tacky" so they are easy to smudge, for a while? what are your tips to efficiently drying the polish and keeping it looking glossy?

I've been practicing this method since I saw it on Lacquerized, but seeing it as a video tutorial was really helpful! Thanks!

So jealous of your natural nails. Even though it's a pretty 'basic' tutorial, I can never get my nails perfect so thanks for this :)

Loved the videos! Well actually the picture tutorial was explanation enough but the videos were pretty awesome! A quick side note, who was the singer/band in the background? I loved the music as well!

Gracias por el vídeo. Parece una tontería pero a veces en lo más esencial es en lo que más dudas tenemos.

Dekuju moc! Jeste ho jednou pretocim, aby bylo jeste lepsi :) Ja sice tu ruku drzim ve vzduchu,ale zaroven se stejne opiram,aby ta ruka byla stabilni. Ja jsem vzdycky delala ruzne rucni prace vcetne malovani vajicek voskem atd, takze asi mi to pomohlo od trepoich se rukou :)

Parádní video! Já ti závidím, jak máš krásný nehty i bez laku a jak máš pevnou ruku při lakování, mně se vždycky klepou :D

Thank you Sam <3 Just try experimenting with what technique/position you can achieve the best results. I had to perfect it too and it took me about a year?

04/25/2012 09:33

Oh no :( I'm sorry to hear that! xxx

Beautiful Tutorial! I can't even imagine how you managed to capture it while painting and still end up with a great looking nail :D

Lucisek-Lucys Stash

04/25/2012 09:32

Aww, thank you! To be honest that is my forst ever video and it is not the best quality. I will improve it in the future, I swear :D I like better my second video tutorial on Gold flames manicure (tutorials section) x

Lucisek-Lucys Stash

04/25/2012 09:31

Ja ti nevim..nekdy driv mi taky kolikrat ujela ruka a jak rikas mela jsem 'boule' ,ale asi je to trosku o treninku a kontrole nad stetcem a taky kdyz ta ruka ujede, tak je tu vzdy nejlepsi pritel stetecek a aceton :D

Dekuju :) Moc se mi to video nepovedlo, je to uplne prvni,ale druhe s tutorialem na ty Gold flames manicure tak to se mi povedlo mnohem vic a zeru tu hudbu u toho :D

Lucisek-Lucys Stash

04/25/2012 09:29

Thank you very much! Of course you don't have to do it like me :) Find what suits you best, how you can achieve the best results! This is just to give an idea how I do it. I like to have my hand like that because I feel it gives me better control, I can turn my hand and move it like I need :)

You have naturally beautiful nails and I LOVE the video! Does it matter that I don't paint my nails that way? I lay my hand flat on the surface and paint. . maybe I should try painting my nails like you hold it! Looks so cool :) lol

Já to prostě nechápu, jak tobě a dalším blogerkám tenhle styl lakování funguje? Když to zkusím já, tak si udělám buď velké nesouměrné "boule" laku nebo naopak rýhy:-( Ale jinak jsem ráda, že točíš konečně i videa, moc pěkný tutorial;-)
