Are you good at keeping at keeping nail polish off the sides of your nails and cuticle area?
If you said yes, you're not alone! Many people have trouble, especially when it comes time to do their dominant hand.
Let's face it, there's a reason why professionals get the money they do for polishing your nails!
I've got some tips and tricks you can use to avoid paying big money at the salon to get your nails done. Keep reading…
There are two super
easy fixes that are cheap, yet effective for keeping the nail
polish where it belongs. Petroleum Jelly
(Vaseline) Vaseline and Elmer's Glue, yes the stuff you use to smear all over
your hands as a kid will actually work!
Let's start off with petroleum jelly (Vaseline) - This method is not my favorite as it can be especially messy. Petroleum jelly if smeared around the edges of the nail will prevent the nail polish from sticking to the areas, you don't want nail polish on. You can use an orange stick to help you apply the jelly.
The reason why petroleum jelly isn't my favorite is because just like it won't let polish stick on the skin, it also won't let polish stick on the nail if you accidentally get the petroleum jelly on the nailbed.
Here's a fun one though… Elmer's Glue. This one I think you'll really like. Either squirt the glue around your nail beds directly from the bottle or pour in a small container and paint the glue around the edges of your nails with a small paintbrush or orange stick. Let the glue dry, paint your nails, then peel the glue off your skin. You can use tweezers to help you remove any tiny bits left behind.
If neither of those two methods sound like a good idea, I have more ideas!
Let's get into the products that are a fair price and work pretty well.
