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

[Zimmer, Cindy]

Ninn,
Are you trying to use your vision when you are doing this?  Try putting your non dominant hand at the top of the bottle and this should direct you.  If that still does not work, you could make a small funnel out of paper or place something around the top of the bottle with a hole in it to help guide you.

Good Luck!
Cindy Z.

Cindy,

This is great!  I have to go and have my nails done every week because I
make such a mess!  Now, do you have a tip for getting that pesky brush back
into that little hole without coating the bottle!

Blessings,

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.
