Here is how to put a smile on your nails using traditional nail polish.

• Choose a design: Social media such as Instagram and Pinterest would be great for gathering design inspiration.
• Gather manicure tools: To paint smiley face nails, you will need the following tools:
  • Nail file
  • Metal pushback tools
  • Nail scissors/ clippers
  • Dotting tool
  • Fine liner brush
  • Cuticle nipper
  • Nail polish brush
  • A clear base coat/ top coat
  • Nail polishes in different colors as you like
• Prepare your nails: Nail art adheres better to nails in good condition, so remove any old nail polish. Trim and file the nails, and push back your cuticles. Buff the surface of the nails to smooth ridges, and apply a cuticle or hand cream.
• Apply the clear base coat and a colored coat: A clear base coat protects your nails. It helps the layers of colors to last longer.
• Paint the smiley face: You need a fine liner brush and a metal dotting tool to create tiny details of a smiley face. Precision is the key, so keep it slow and steady.
• Seal with a top coat: When your nails are dry after the nail art, seal them with a clear top coat.
