hi i dont airbrush but maybe try putting some cuticle oil around the finger and then it might just wipe off when your finished?

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! :lol: I hope i helped. Take care, Jo.xx :hug:

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 :lol 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 :green:

Agre sculpting forms can work but to get really close. Buy blue multiple purpose masking tape from DIY store. Obviously make sure client isn't allegic to this type of tape. Cut a piece that will fit around finger. Over nail. Rub over the nail. You will then get an imprint of nail. I then cut this nail shape out with stork scissors. You then place the piece of tape with cut out bit around nail and secure around finger. It means you have very close protection to skin around nail! Airbrush and then remove tape. Hardly any cleaning up is needed. Good luck
