How do you stop your own varnish getting marked when using product? - 02-06-08, 01:45 PM

Apart from wearing gloves what way is there for me to not get my own varnish marked etc when I am doing clients nails? With using product such as Scrub Fresh it obviously takes of some of your own varnish unless extra careful. Just wondered if anyone has any tricks to share regarding this or is it just impossible to prevent unless you wear gloves.

gel it...? lol.

or learn to make your every move without touching your nails... I have long nails (even longer than in my av) and so had to practice and train to be sure I'd be able to do the same things you do with short nails, without hurting the client, myself, or ruining my nail art. so you can easily do it. some top coat cures under the lamp, so they're not as thick as some sealers, and they stay on the natural nail too

now I also wear a glove (yes just one) because I tend to paint and mix on my hand and it's nasty...

Handsdown pads....They are lint free wipes with a tab that you hold and the understide has a protective backing to prevent your own nails getting ruined.

Sweet Squared sell them as do Sallys...

I love these too! I think peeps should get shares in them! Between all the handsdown pads I use with Brisa and to stop me wrecking my polish when using Scrubfresh - I go thru hundreds of the blighters!
