I’ve always found doing my nails to be a real pain and I’ve never felt very skilled at it. Sometimes I’ll put on three coats and still have thin areas and the more I work on them the gloppier they get. So I just tried out the Sally Hanson Color Quick Fast Dry Nail Color Pen – This stuff is Fantastic!!! Like the name says, it’s nail polish in a pen – you just click it a few times and basically draw it on. The first time I did it I was amazed. It was like, “This is how it’s supposed to be!” I’m going out tonight and quickly put on a single coat and it’s clear, even, opaque, dries in no time, and looks better than I’ve ever done with the little brushes. It’ll be interesting to see how it holds up and if the pen dries up or gets gummy over time, but if it continues to work like this, I’ll probably be dumping most of my little bottles of nail polish. It’s a little more expensive – I think about $8 bucks – but I’m gladly handing over my cash for other colors. So far I’m 100 percent sold!
I have the same problem. My right hand is really skilled with applying the polish to my left fingers. But when I try to go back the other way, I find that my left hand is very clumsy and unweilding with the polish brush. I end up compensating by moving my right fingers with the brush because my left hand is so uncooperative. Like you, I get the clumps.
I’ve also noticed that when I play in self-bondage, my poor nails take a beating. The polish ends up scratched and marred when I dig at the knots or cuffs with my fingers!
