Polish goes on more evenly with three strokes of center, left, then right, which helps beginners get a smooth surface. Take only a little on the brush and set it slightly away from the cuticle, which also avoids spills onto skin and bulging. Two thin coats dry faster and look smoother than one thick coat, so this is a safe method while you are still learning.
