Okay, I sometimes wear colored nail polish. But I have no idea how to actually get the stuff on properly.
Just apply it with the brush it comes with -> results in a hideously thick layer that never dries completely, and comes right off the next time I scrub my hands. Also gets all over my fingers, irritating my skin. (It doesn't help that my hands have a slight tremor, due to medical stuff outside my control.)
Apply it on top of clear nail polish -> looks better, but comes right off *after* it's dried.
Apply it on top of clear polish, then apply more clear stuff on top -> still comes right off.
The only halfway sensible approach I've found is to dip a Q-tip in the colored polish and dab it onto my nails very lightly. This results in a... rather interesting mottled look. But I'd prefer smooth and shiny.
Is there, like, any way whatsoever to do this one's self?
(No, search engines haven't turned up much. And I don't think I'll ask on Stack Overflow, thanks.)
