What nail polish is good

Many female friends choose to paint nail polish, because a good-looking nail polish can greatly enhance the image of a person's hands. However, if you don’t go to a nail salon to do your nails, but paint your nails at home, you will find that nail polish is actually very difficult to apply. If you are not careful, it is easy to smudge it and have to reapply it, and it is also easy to apply unevenly. So what kind of nail polish is best to use when applying nail polish?

Q: What kind of nail polish is suitable for beginners?

A: It is recommended that beginners start with cream texture (i.e. pure color, without any glitter or special effects) and fine pearlescent color (without large sequins and evenly distributed glitter). Generally speaking, the textures of both are easy to apply evenly and don’t require much skill. Translucent colors are generally not easy to apply evenly, and tend to be dark in some places and light in others. Applying nail polish with large sequins is a test of technique. It is easy for beginners to apply nail polish repeatedly because the position of the sequins is not ideal, resulting in the nail polish being too thick, not smooth and difficult to dry.

Q: What kind of nail polish is good to use?

A: Nail polish should be of moderate consistency to be easy to apply. If it is too thick, you can add a diluent to solve the problem. If it is too thin, there is no solution. In addition, for beginners, nail polish must be applied evenly. Although there are exceptions, in general, translucent colors are not as easy to apply as solid colors, and very light colors are not as easy to apply as dark colors. Nail polish cannot dry too slowly, otherwise it will easily smudge and form bubbles.

Q: If I only buy one brand, what should I buy?

A: It is recommended that you try several brands and carefully feel the texture and brush head of each brand to know which brand is most suitable for you. The hardness and size of each person's nails, as well as the strength of the force applied, will change your experience of using this bottle of nail polish, so it will take time to gain true knowledge.

OPI

Reference price: around 60 yuan

OPI is a household name in nail art, and its product quality is worthy of its reputation. The price is moderate, but there are many fakes, so please be careful to identify them. OPI's regular series is above average in all aspects, so it can be used as a "benchmark" in nail polish. The brush head is a medium-thick flat-head wide brush with delicate workmanship, and it is considered to be a relatively easy-to-use brush. The brush heads of other brands mentioned in this article will be compared with OPI's brush heads as a reference.

In addition to the regular series with black lids, OPI also has a micro-light therapy series with silver lids, which is also very useful and worth trying. OPI has a wide range of color options, especially solid and pearlescent colors suitable for beginners, and you can basically find every color system.

OPI Micro-Light Therapy

Essie Micro-Phototherapy Series

Reference price: 60-70 yuan

The Essie Gel Couture series, commonly known as the "twist-up bottle", is highly recommended. It is strange that such a useful series is not very popular.

In recent years, major brands have introduced the concept of "micro-light therapy", adding the properties of light therapy to nail polish, allowing nail polish to be more durable and quick-drying while maintaining its easy-to-remove properties. Essie's Micro-Light Therapy series has put a lot of effort into durability and pigment processing, so this series does not require a primer and is not easily stained. It dries quickly and lasts longer than the regular series. Although it is called micro-light therapy, it does not require lighting and is very convenient to apply at home.

The brush is a wide, curved brush. It can cover most nails with just one or two strokes. The curved brush head is very convenient for outlining the edges. Combined with essie's unique moist texture, it is particularly smooth to apply.

The twist bottle is really twisted thoroughly, even the brush handle is twisted. It is said that this is to prevent the nail polish on the handle from dripping onto the brush. It is really thoughtful. The current drawback is that the color selection is not very rich. I strongly hope that such a useful series will have more colors.

But the color matching of this series is great. There are several red ones alone, and what’s rare is that each one of them looks very good.
