Let's be honest––painting our own nails can be hard AF. It's like the harder we try to stay in the lines, the more we fail, because of course. Luckily, Cosmopolitan may have just saved the day for collegiettes everywhere with one simple tip: Vaseline.
It's simple. "Take a baby Q-tip and rub it around your surrounding skin and cuticles before you apply polish,"Alexaundra McCormick of Honey Artists told Cosmo. "If you get the polish on your skin, it won't stick because of the Vaseline." However, you want to ensure that you don't get any Vaseline on your actual nail. If you do, clean it off with rubbing alcohol before applying any polish.
Once your polish dries, wipe off the vaseline and enjoy your ~perfect~ nails!
