I think as a beginner to nail art, it is very important to know to paint your nails cleanly and effectively. Good nail art over a sloppy base just isn't as impressive. I think this chart from Lacquerized is a fantastic guide: http://www.lacquerized.com/2010/05/how-to-how-i-paint-my-nails.html

@Kasey: thanks. It's a good guide. I've been wearing nail polish for ages so I have a good hand applying the basic.
