of the lineup and created nail arts to match the
color scheme of the cover. When your nails
twin with your techo, it will be sure to lift up
your mood anytime it catches your eyes! With

less likely to go wrong! We hope you try some
of these feeling relaxed.

How to Always use a base coat and a top coat!
Base coats will prevent staining on your nails from pigmented paint,
and will smooth out the surface. Top coats are essential in giving your
nails a nice sheen while helping your nail art last longer. No matter
what design you choose, be sure to use both of them when you do
your nails.

scheme blends in well to your skin color, so it's easy to try even if
you're new to nail art. You can try using nail polish colors that are

pale blue in this case - will bring the whole look together.

・Start with your dominant hand to avoid failures
(If your right hand is your dominant hand, use your left hand to paint
your right hand nails first. By starting off with the hand that's harder
to paint with, it's easier to balance it out later on.)
・If you accidentally leave a mark on your nails before it dries out,
gently rub it with hand cream or nail oil so it won't stand out as much.
