How do I get a smooth, streak-free finish?

Last updated on Jun 02, 2026

A smooth mani comes down to thin coats, clean nails, and good dry time.

Roll polish between your hands instead of shaking (helps prevent bubbles)

Prep nails with our gentle acetone-free remover to remove any previous polish.

Start with a thin first coat, then wait 3 minutes before applying a thin second coat.

To achieve the cleanest nail look, ensure that you polish only the nail surface, not the cuticles.

Finish with our protective top coat for a smooth, glassy finish.
