[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: Nail polish alternative

[Zimmer, Cindy]

If you smear the glue around the nail along the cuticle line and over the pad of your finger, it will peel right off.  You are not covering the nail with glue only the area around the nail.

Very clever!  I have a question.  How do you prevent the polish from tearing
off of the nail?  Maybe I just have to do it

Here is a technique that we used today during our grooming class.  It worked
slick!

Hello!
We had a session on grooming today at the center and I came up with a new
alternative for applying nail polish using Elmers glue or Modge Pod.


1.       Apply a generous amount of Elmer's glue or Mod Podge around the
area of the fingernail (all the way around on the skin). This will serve as
a frame to keep the polish from getting on the finger. This can be applied
with a finger or a Q-tip. If the person is new to using polish, they may
want to apply the glue farther down on the fingers to keep the polish from
getting on their skin.

2.       Wait for the glue to dry completely.

3.       Once the glue is dry, apply desired nail polish.

4.       Wait for the nail polish to dry.

5.       Peel off the glue with your fingers. Grabbing any edge of the glue
will make it come off like a sticker. It should come off easily if a good
amount of glue was used.
The finished product will be a nail that has good edges and the nail polish
will have stuck to the glue and not on the finger.
Hope this helps.
