How to Paint Nails with the Wrong Hand!

Just relax for an afternoon with a nice DIY manicure. You've made a hand bath yourself and you're ready to paint your nails. The first hand goes smoothly. Great. It's ready to shine again. And then it happens: you have to paint your nails with the wrong hand. That will be a mess. No doubt. But how do you make sure that your dominant hand also provides a neat result? We have listed 3 handy tips for painting nails with the wrong hand:

1. Move your hand

Your dominant hand is probably much more developed. The movements are much more precise and refined. So why bother with a brush in your wrong hand? Try holding your non-dominant hand still and moving your nail instead of the brush. That way you are simply letting your good hand do all the precise work!

2. Don't use too much nail polish

Less is more. Especially if you are going to paint your nails with the wrong hand. Therefore, do not use too much nail polish. The chance of a mess is much smaller and it is also easier to spread than a thick blob. You can always take a little bit if you have too little. And that is easier than repairing the damage with a cotton swab and nail polish remover!

3. Start in the middle

It may be tempting to start at the side and work from left to right (or right to left), but it’s smarter to start in the middle of your nail. This way, you can gradually distribute the polish over the entire nail and apply it more thinly at the tips. This will ensure a smooth transition with your regrowth!

Of course, with all of the above, it also applies that you simply have to take your time. Make sure that your brush lies comfortably in your hand. Firmly, but in such a way that you can hold it for a while. Then it will definitely be fine. And remember: practice makes perfect. A good reason to plan another DIY manicure next week!
