Must-Know Dark Nail Polish Application Tips:

Dark polish is gorgeous, but it's also a little unforgiving.

Here’s a few quick tips to keep your mani looking flawless:

- Buff your nails first. Dark polish loves to highlight every ridge, so start with an even canvas.

- Always use a base coat. It protects your natural nail from staining, which dark shades are notorious for.

- Keep your layers thin. Thin coats dry more evenly than one thick one.

- Clean up the edges with a cotton swab and a little remover for that crisp, just-left-the-salon look.

- Finish with a shiny top coat and cap the free edge. It's the easiest way to buy yourself extra days before chipping starts.
