QuestionHow do I make my nails look professionally done?Community AnswerApply masking tape to the nail edges so that when you apply polish, none sticks to your skin or leaves any messy excess. If you want to add designs, shape masking tape into a variety of shapes and styles. Then apply a clear gel coat to make it look shiny. From there, you can add some personal embellishments like glitter, diamonds, jewels and more.
