Trick to getting smooth nail polish every time

I was recently revealed that the Queen has a favourite nail polish shade that is not only the perfect neutral shade to go with everything, but is also affordable enough for commoners to buy.

So now that you can buy the royal shade of nail polish and feel like a queen (or a duchess – apparently the Duchess of Cambridge chose the same shade for her wedding to Prince William). No doubt, Her Majesty has someone to do her nails for her, but you can achieve a professional finish at home thanks to this clever nail polish hack.

For a simple task that many women do regularly, it can be difficult to get a nice finish on your nail polish. One of the major problems is that it tends to get gluggy quite quickly, especially if the room you’re working in is warm. You need to work quickly to avoid it clumpy as you go back over trying to smooth it out, and many times it ends up a mess!

Try keeping your nail polish in the fridge; it keeps it from clumping and helps it to go on super smoothly, so it will look like you’ve had your nails polished professionally!
