How to: Wrap Polish To Prevent Shrinkage

Hey there! :) 

I hope you all had a good weekend! I recently got a request on facebook from one of my dear followers, asking me whether I could do a tutorial on how to wrap polish on the tips to prevent shrinkage. First I thought, that it'll be pretty difficult to take photos of that process, but I managed somehow :P 

I don't say this is the best way to do this process, but this is the way I do it :)

Let's start!

1. After applying your polish as usual, take the brush of the polish you used, remove all the excess polish on it (you only need very little for this step) 

and hold it in a 90 degree angle to your nail. 

Now move the brush from side to side until it covers the whole tip of your nail with nail polish!

2. Now you basically do the same thing with your top coat, but this time you polish the tip first (just like you did before with the other polish) and apply the TC on your whole nail afterwards!

That's basically it! As you can see on the third picture, you can't tell there is polish on your tip! It's very even and it really helps preventing shrinkage/tip wear. 

Here's how it looks before & after:

I hope this tutorial helped some of you! If you have any questions, feel free to ask in your comments! ;)

Thanks for reading and have a good night! x
