Make sure you use a good quality base coat to help prevent staining and to protect the natural health and durability of your nails. Also a fast drying top coat is recommended for after colour as it really helps to reduce chipping, but this isn't mandatory.

Take your time when you paint your nails, the more rushed you are, the messier your nails are bound to be.
You can apply cuticle oil or moisturiser to the skin around your nails which will prevent excess nail polish from sticking so much.
Also make sure that you have some cotton tips on hand with nail polish remover so you can quickly and easily fix up any mess as you go. Best of luck!

A tip to help dry your nails faster is when they're wet stick them in water with ice and that'll help make them dry faster.

Thanks! I'm so impatient with the drying part that is something I'm defiantly going to try.

That's a great tip Sheslay, it definitely helped me when I first learned about it haha. Also, just running your nails under cool water can help too!
