{the polish tutorial :: the brazilian manicure}

---

instagram is a wonderful place to live. peruse. stalk. live. whatever...the point is :: the other day i stumbled upon an instavid of a celebrity manicurist getting a "brazilian manicure". obviously i was intrigued. so i decided to try it for myself. pretty cool i must say. its messy but it didn't really take any more time than my regular polish endeavors. the key thing that i noticed from my google research is that it is mucho importante that you have had a fresh manicure & that all dead skin & hangnails have been removed from the nail bed & cuticle area. this way your polish goes on nice & smooth & all the secret hiding places are filled in.

take a look below at my {video tutorial} (my first one!!) & then try it for yourself!
