Right there with you girl... It takes forever and I try so hard, and inevitably I still end up smudging them and ruining like 3 at once. Sigh- I guess I should practice more.

Because I basically paint the entire end of my hand and hope the skin oils kick in.

A few years ago I got one of those DIY gel kits (with the lamp and everything), and something about the gel polish plus the fact that it takes like 30 seconds to dry made it so much easier. I've since gotten rid of it though, so now I just deal with bare nails 95% of the time...Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12377336148033550179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368077977372938482.post-30870637447286786302015-03-25T10:31:52.992-07:002015-03-25T10:31:52.992-07:00seriously.. this.

My hair is so fine and I haven't quite mastered how to curl it and make it look awesome.<br /><br />I have tons of nail polish and dotting tools and all that jazz...and yet my nails are bare 80% of the time. Well fingers anyways, the toes are always painted!

Now I do my nails constantly because I only wash my hair like twice, maaaaaybe three times a week. (Not really related, but kinda.) Anyway, practice. Practice with light colors and the sequence of events should always be nails -> shower (after they're dry, duh) -> people seeing your hands.<br />Also, tip: One coat at a time. Do one thin coat to start and let them dry. Do something else. One thin coat dries SO much faster than two thick. Let coat one fully dry (~20 minutes to be totally sure) and then do the second. Put a fast-drying top coat on 10-20 minutes after that. Be slightly careful (no showers or sheets) for like an hour.
