My advice to you...make sure your nail polish is relatively new.(There is nothing worse than "goopy" nail polish.)Also start from the sides and have nice,long,and even strokes.Take your time and be patient.I normally work with a toothpick beside me.(I find they work better than your average Q-tip.)To get rid of all the little "accidents" you tend to have around your nail.Try your best to keep a steady hand.And after a while you will get better.

i do it allll the time, and i mainly wear bladk nailpolish so yeah!
-hope it works

Also since you use dark colors you will want to apply a base coat to keep the nail polish from "staining" your nails. After pushing cuticles down use lotion then apply the base coat. Paint the first coat and if you must kind of paint really close to the skin and get a little on your skin ((don't worry it sounds bad but its really not)) then take a Q-Tip and put finger nail polish remover on it and take it off your skin. Do a second coat. Do the quick dry/top coat. Let dry and then enjoy your beautified nails! LOL
