6. Apply a thin layer of base coat to each nail using wide, even strokes from base to tip. Let it dry all.

7. Carefully draw a thin line of white varnish across the natural tip of the nail. If it looks uneven, let it dry, and put a second neater line over it.

8. Brush on the pink or nude varnish. Make sure there's not too much on the brush, and stroke from one side of the nail to the other. You can put on more layers if you need to deepen the colour, but always make sure the first layer is touch-dry before you apply a second.
