We paint nails evenly! Lacquer, especially rich color, can lie on the nail non-uniformly. How can this be avoided? Before dyeing the nail, make sure that there is enough varnish on the brush (a small droplet on one side of the brush is enough to paint the widest nail - on the thumb). Apply a brush layer to the center, in the direction from the cuticle to the outer end of the nail. Do not press on the brush to manage to grab the nail entirely. It is better to apply two more strips on the sides (but no longer brushing the brush in the bottle).
