Polish Your Nails - Tips & Tricks

Polish Your Nails

Step #1: Prep
Cut
You decide what’s too long for you. The darker or bolder the polish, the shorter the nail.
File
Only in the direction the nail grows, so you don’t weaken it. File sides straight, and corners
round to match the cuticle’s curve in reverse.
Clean
Use nail polish remover, whether there is polish to remove or not. It helps the future polish last
longer. Really, it does.
Step #2: The Cuticle
The easiest way to push back the cuticle: with a towel when you get out of the shower. You can
also use a cuticle stick.
Never: bite your cuticles. If you have itty bits of skin hanging around your nails, nip it off with a
cuticle snipper.
Step #3: The Base Coat
Always apply one. The ridge-filler that’s part of the formula will smooth your nails and ready
them for the color.
Application
Paint three fat stripes, first down the middle, then one on either side.
Step #4: The Polish
Be sure to only dip your brush once per nail. If you double-dip for one nail, the polish might end
up pooling.
First coat
Hold the flat side of brush parallel to your nail, don’t come down from above — this is key to
get the widest swath. Stroke the lacquer down the middle of the nail in a single sweep, then repeat on
either side of the nail, again in single strokes. Do all 10 nails.
Second coat
Make like you’re swatting flies for a minute or two after the first coat, then repeat for second
coat.
Step #5: The Top Coat
Always. Always. Always. You might want to add a topper every two to three days, to keep your
nails super glossy. If you type a lot, be sure to pull the top coat all the way over the tip.
Step #6: Drying Time
Product
Quick-dry solution — drops or spray — usually dries nails within minutes.

The first stethoscope

René Laennec, a French doctor and inventor was born 235 years ago today, and Google has marked his birthday with a Doodle. Dr Laennec's importance to modern medicine was guaranteed by his invention of the very first stethoscope in 1816. Here are five things you (probably) didn't know about him : 1. Dr Laennec's stethoscope bears little semblance to the modern stethoscope. Unlike those used today, Dr Laennec's stethoscope was not a set of ear pieces connected by a plastic tube to a chest piece. His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his 1819 treatise on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...

Lenovo Vibe K4 Note First Impressions

Lenovo has kicked off 2016 with the new Vibe K4 Note smartphone. Those familiar with Lenovo's Note series might get puzzled with the addition of the Vibe moniker to the name, especially given the success of Lenovo K3 Note last year. Head of Product and Marketing at Lenovo Smartphones in India, Anuj Sharma, clarified that the new K4 Note has been integrated with the Vibe series of smartphones. While we are not sure if this has anything to do with the rumours that Lenovo may discontinue its Vibe range to prevent cannibalisation of Motorola sales, Sharma yet again asserted "Vibe" range is not going anywhere . Lenovo at the Delhi launch event on Tuesday also showed some statistics to show how popular the Lenovo K3 Note really is in the country. The handset was the third most searched phone in 2015, based on Google's release data for India , and the company had sold around 1.2 million units. W...
