unfortunately, with airbrushing you will get paint on the clients skin BUT it comes of easy with soap and water after you have sealed the design and painted the top coat on the nail so that your finished work is preserved. You should'n have to scrub your clients fingers off! I hope i helped. Take care, Jo.xx

Yep, it is just part of airbrushing .. the better you get at it, the less paint you get on the skin.

I always find that oils and things either bleed onto the nail or make the fingers slippery to hold.

I put horse shoe sculpting forms (which are pants for sculpting but great for this job ) around each nail. I cut them in half and lay one half down one side and the other half down the other. They effectively shield the whole area.

As you get more control you will not need them.

That sounds like such a brilliant and simple idea..... one I will certainly try when I start doing airbrush nail art.
Thanks
