Paint the nails, let them dry, then put on another coat. It doesn't matter how messy they are because it's easy to remove the paint from your skin. I usually just use a pair of tweezers to scrape it away once everything is dry. "Scrape" may sound like it hurts, but it doesn't at all. All you need to do is peel the extra paint away. Taking a shower once you're sure it's totally dry can help too. It really just takes practice. Don't try to do any crazy designs until you get the hang of it. You may want to start practicing with your toenails instead of your fingernails. Have a lot of nail polish remover around. The good thing is that if you really mess it up, you can wipe them clean and try again. Good luck!

My only tip is in regards to the problem when painting with your non writing hand. I don't have as fine skills on that hand and get polish on the skin a little around the edges. So I use a q-tip dipped in nail polish remover to slowly remove any polish that went over the edges onto the cuticle where I didn't intend. Give each coating plenty of time to dry. The older a nail polish is, the longer it takes to dry and can go on too thick. Even a bottle you just bought can be already old. So if you have those problems too often with one bottle, toss it and get another. Always have fresh new polish to work with. And it just takes practice. I have used undercoats and over coats on nail polish and never noticed any difference.
