HELLO! This is my first propper post and it is all about your nails and how to make them gorgeous, glamerous and stylish.
WAY 1: Use the water marble technique.
The watermarble method is as easy as ABC. Simply drip your selection of nail varnish in a small pot of warm water so that they spread out in a circle. Then, use a pencil to cut through the floating nail varnish to create beautiful patterns, the simpler the better. Take a blank fake nail on a stick ( or just use your nail buy wrapping sello-tape around your skin ) and dunk it straight through the varnish circle. Use the pencil to clean up the excess nail varnish and slowley bring your nail out of the water and POOF, your nail will be complete. The result should be a pretty mix of nail varnish colours. 
WAY 2: Use the sponging method for a gradient effect.
Pick 3 or more nail varnish colours. Take the lightest colour and use it as a base by painting it on normally with 3 strokes, for a smooth and even result. Put a couple of drops of a darker colour of nail varnish onto a piece of paper and dip a small sponge into the liquid. Gently, sponge on the colour around half way down the nail starting at the tip. Repeat the process for a darker colour, though only sponge on until half of the previous colour. Finally, once the varnish is dry, cover your nail with a clear varnish coat to blend the and seal the gradiant colours. If you have any varnish on your skin, take a cotton bud dipped in nail varnish remover and carefully rub it over the accidentall varnish.
WAY 3: Use the three stroke method mentioned in the previous way.
The three stroke method is the most common way to get an even and smooth coat of nail varnish on your nail. It can be used on its own or as a base coat for more complex designs. Take your nail varnish and paint a simple line starting from the top of your nail and gradually reaching the tip. Then, fill in the left side of the nail in one stroke - the result does not have to be perfect yet. FInally, fill in the right in the same way. One coat is now complete. Repeat this process to create a second coat with the same colour ( this is the layer that has to be perfect ). Once again, if any nail varnish does get onto your skin, use a cotton bud soaked in nail varnish remover. This method will insure you perfect nails.
