Once your base coat dries (give it at least one minute), it's time to load your airbrush nail gun with a water-based paint. "Regular nail polish is very thick and will clog it so that is not recommended," said Lee. A kit like the OPHIR Nail Ink Airbrushing Kit is a bit pricer, but it has everything you need inside: the tool, water-based paints, stencils, and cleaning instruments.
Test the airbrush paint on a kitchen roll first to ensure it's smooth and working properly, and make sure you have additional kitchen roll down on your workspace. "Another tip is to border your nail with tape or liquid latex (like AIMEILI Liquid Latex Peel Off Tape Cuticle Guard Polish (£6) to help prevent any excess paint from going onto the skin," Lee said.
