Prep: Wipe each nail with polish remover
Technique: Apply base coat, then two coats of color in three strokes. Make sure to wipe the brush against the rim of the bottle to prevent gobs of lacquer on your nails. Caruso also says it helps to rest the side of the pinky of painting hand on a table to keep it steady.

Finally, add top coat and hold nails under the blow dryer for two to three minutes.

Plus, the four decisions that matter more than which scent you pick.
