How to do nails milky perfect alone at home?
The almost transparent milky-white manicure does not forgive sloppy nails and, like any simple manicure that relies on the application of a solid shade of polish, it requires a perfect base for a flawless result.
So always start by filing your nails well to give them a clean shape and by treating your cuticles to display well-groomed hands. Then protect the nail with a transparent base coat, as with any nail beauty treatment. Then apply a layer of white varnish, making sure to wring out the brush before placing it on the nails, so as not to smudge the edges. If your polish does not cover much, it is sometimes possible to apply a second coat of varnish on the nails to provide perfect uniformity to the color white as milk. But it really depends on the opacity of your varnish, sometimes just putting on one coat is the only possible option to keep the color completely transparent. Finally, to guarantee you a result glossy, finish by applying a layer of transparent top coat.
