With a few tips and tricks, any woman can flawlessly apply nail polish at home! I know that we've previously shared with you several hacks to get a perfect manicure at home, but this time, I'll tell you how to apply nail polish without streaks. If you want to apply white or pastel nail polish, it usually tends to appear with streaks, but don't you worry, because you can easily fix this issue. So how can you get a streak-free nail polish? 

If you like to keep your nails natural...here's how to naturally whiten underneath your nails

Here are 8 tips on how to apply sheer nail polish without streaks:

1. Ridge-filling base coats

 Many nail polish brands offer ridge-filling base coats, that should be used before applying white or pastel nail polish shades. The ridge-filling base coat is so rich, and it will create a smooth, opaque layer to prepare your nails for the nail polish color you want to apply.

Here are even more nail products we love

2. Matte top coat (Before)

 If you can't find these ridge-filing base coats. There's another way that can get you a similar result. Apply a matte top coat as a base before you apply your nail polish color. 

3. Matte top coat (after)

You can apply your first coat of nail polish color. Wait for it to dry. Apply a coat of a matte top coat and then apply your second coat of polish.

4. The brush angle

 Another reason why nail polish gets streaky is because the brush strokes show through. Keep the brush at a 45-degree angle, not flat against the nail, to prevent brush strokes from showing through. Keep the brush up at the base of your cuticle press down gently to fan the bristles out and swipe downwards. It will give a smoother and more even application. Also, more thin layers are better than less but thicker layers. 

If you get peeling skin around your nails. There are home remedies that can help with that

5. Small amount of polish

5. Also, what helps prevent brush strokes is actually not having too much polish on your brush. Because that creates a build-up of extra polish which gives that streaky look. Wipe the bristles on both sides and only take a small amount of polish

6. Use Three Strokes

When applying the polish, use three strokes for each nail, one down the center and one on each side. This technique helps distribute the polish evenly and minimizes streaks.

7. Avoid Overloading the Brush

Wipe off excess polish from the brush by scraping one side against the bottle's neck. This prevents too much polish from being applied at once, reducing the likelihood of streaks.

8. Thin Coats

Apply thin, even coats of sheer polish. Thicker layers are more likely to result in streaks. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next one.

See, I told you, they're really simple tips that can help you apply nail polish without streaks!
