Nail Tips and Tricks

Here's some tricks and tips that will seriously save your life! they saved mine!!
  1. Did you know that dipping your nails in ice water dries them? Now you know ;)
  2. Have an old angled eyebrow brush? Well, they can be used for easy clean up! Just dip it into some nail polish remover and use it to clean up the mess around your cuticles.
  3. How else can you keep your cuticles clean? Just brush on some school glue before painting your nails. Let it dry and don’t worry about making a mess! It peels right off!
  4. Put a pin into an old eraser to make your own dotter for dotted nails.
  5. Use hole-punch reinforcements for French manicures. They make the perfect curve.
  6. Are you worried about painting designs directly on your nails? Don't worry, you can simply paint any design you want on some plastic wrap and let it dry. Paint your nail with a clear coat, peel your design off the plastic wrap and put it on your nail like a sticker. I think you can take it from here.
  7. Glitter nail polish can be easy to remove! Try this: cut a square of tin foil that can fit around your finger. Get a cotton ball and dip it in nail polish remover. Place that cotton ball on your nail and wrap it with the tin foil. Leave it on for about 5 minutes. When you remove it, the glitter will come off with it!
  8. If you don't want to deal with that in the first place, use school glue as your base coat for glitter nails. This way, you can just peel it off whenever you want!
  9. You don't have to use glitter nail polish to get glitter nails. You can also paint your nails with a clear coat (or whatever colour you'd like) then dip them into glitter or even glittery eye-shadow to get the same look, maybe even better!
  10. How to remove gel nails without having to go to the nail salon or ripping them off? Use the same as getting glitter off your nails!!
  11. This is a cool one: put your bottle of nail polish in the fridge for about 15 minutes before you paint your nails with it for a smooth and bubble-free finish!
  12. And this is a random one that works: did you know that toothpaste can be used as a stain remover? If you're nails are stained or discoloured, just put some toothpaste on them, cover them with plastic wrap. Leave them on for 5-10 minutes. Then use an old tooth brush to brush those stains away! 
Here's some random pictures of my nails to spice up this post ;)
