Nailing The Polish Application

I had just bought my first bottle of Chanel nail polish, the Blue Satin. I’ve never had a Chanel polish before, so it took some experimenting before I nailed the most efficient way of applying the opaque blue liquid. I thought about the other polish brands I’ve used, and here’s what works for me in terms of polish application.

The brush vs the formula

The Chanel brush is thin and short, so with these type brush, I found that I need to have a completely wet brush to get good application. The Blue Satin is what I consider a medium thick formula liquid, so it does not drip, which makes it easier for me to take my time applying the polish. I found that one coat is sufficient for Blue Satin. I usually work on the toes first, then the left hand, and lastly the right hand. On the nail, I go from the extreme left of the nail towards the right if it’s the left hand/foot—I find that going the other way (the right of the nail to the left) increases the chance for smudging. Do the opposite (going from the right to the left of the nail) for your right hand/foot.

If the brush is thin and short but the polish formula is thin (encer abisss), then the best thing to do is to swipe some liquid off the brush on the side of the bottle, so that the brush is not dripping. In this case, it is best to do two, or even three, coats of nail polish to get an even coverage. (more…)
