"To draw the art on the nail, you want to start with your pinkie nail on the left hand side. You've allowed your polish to dry at least four minutes, or excuse me, at least six minutes. You want it to wait two minutes between each coat. I'm going to start with just a simple little design. I'm just putting it on the nail. I'm using my stylus brush, my striping brush. And I'm just drawing the design on. Now for most designs, I do the body, or the biggest part of the design on all ten nails, and then I go back and fill in the smaller parts of the design. That way I'm allowing each color to dry just a little bit before I go on to the next one. Most designs, you can make them big or small, depending on the shape of it, how wide the nail bed is, how long the nail bed is. This is how you apply the body of the nail art design to the nail. "
