I’m new to using polish & nail care. This is the first time I’ve tried “capping” the free edge with polish for longevity, and it went so poorly! I think this polish was on the goopy side so it left a thick ridge on the tip of my nail that I tried to brush flat, but it ruined my perfectly smooth finish and is also visibly more opaque in that area. Might not be super visible with my phone camera but it is in person. It also made a huge mess on my skin but I was able to clean it up with a lot of effort. 🥴
How am I supposed to achieve this neatly?? It is even worth doing on short nails with the free edge so close to skin? At which point do you cap? I did mine on the last coat of 3.
