So when you go to photos on beautylish, you see all the nails and they're all so perfect! Like you can't tell they used any kind of brush, or anything at all. I just dont get it! How do they do it?

Practice and the right polish, o.p.I. Is really good. Also make sure you set out a lot of time so that you aren't rushing and have time for them to dry :)

Aim to leave a 1mm gap between your nail and skin so you don't get paint on your cuticles and practise practise :-)

A few tips... use your pinky to steady your hand... only put the amount of nail varnish on your brush for the one nail and use as few strokes as possible that will help it not to be streaky.

Laura I've lived in Germany and I found that at most asian markets they have a section for nail polish and nail art essentials.

I agree... lots of practice and I have another tip..use a small make up pencil and dip it in nail polish remover and use it to clean up the excess nail polish around the edges ( clean the brush off on a pice of papper now and then to remove the polish from the brush)
