Decorate Your Toenails

This simple explanation will help you paint the best toenails. Just follow the instructions.

Steps

  1. Grow your toenails.
  2. Clean them well and file them.
  3. Paint one clear coat of nail varnish first.
  4. Once the first coat is completely dry, paint a second coat of any color nail varnish over the first coat.
  5. Decorate when half dry. While the varnish is half dry, carefully place some nail decorations on, nail stickers work better then anything else.
  6. Finish with a final coat of clear nail varnish.

Tips

  • If you don't want to use paint/stickers/rhinestones crackle nail polish is wonderful.
  • You can use a cool hairdryer.
  • Make sure your colors go together and think about it before you put it on!
  • You may want to use a toothpick to hold the sticker in place as you put the top coat of nail varnish on.
  • You can make your nails dry faster by dipping them into a bowl of ice cold water. (not under a running tap)
  • Sandals also are great to wear if you need to run an errand before your toenails are completely dry!
  • It really helps to make sure you let each coat dry for at least 4 minutes so that the color doesn't bubble or never dry. Don't add more than 4 coats on the entire nail too. It will never dry.
