How To Clean up nail polish from your cuticles

There is no woman who doesn’t like having as beautiful, perfectly filed and decorated nails as if they have just went out of the salon. However, if you don’t have the time or the money to have professional manicure procedures, you can take care of your nail on your own. But have you ever asked yourself the question how to make your cuticles meticulously clean and nail – polish free? All too often, the cuticles are the most problematic part of the home – made manicure. Although they tend to be neglected, the cuticles play an important role of the entire appearance of your nails. If they are not clean, the chances to create an impression of a hastily done nail polishing procedure are pretty high and vice versa – clean cuticles can make your nails look terrific.

As a matter of fact, maintaining and cleaning the nail polish from the cuticles is not that difficult. There are several techniques and you just have to choose the one you consider to be most convenient to you.

  • The least expensive cleaning method is soaking a cotton bud into acetone and carefully remove the nail polish from the cuticles. However, the cheapest doesn’t necessarily means the most effective way for cleaning. According to those who have already tried this, you need to have a really firm hand otherwise you might take off more nail polish than intended and start the procedure all over.
  • Every manicure kit includes a small stick, also known as an orange wood stick that has a pointed tip. Here, you have two alternatives for using it. You can either clean the cuticles before the polish gets dry or wait and then wrap up some cotton around the stick, soak it in acetone and carefully remove the excessive amount.
  • If you are willing to invest a particular amount of money in having a specialised tool for cleaning cuticles – then go for it. Using this tool saves all the drama the two methods, mentioned above, cause. Plus it can be found in any cosmetic store. In brief, you have to look for the following: a small pen – like tool, filled up with polish remover. It has a pointed tip as well but according to some users the liquid, it is filled with is not as concentrated as the regular acetone and it takes a lot of efforts to clean the cuticles up, especially if you have let the polish get dry.
  • Here we come to the next cuticle cleaning method, considered to be the favourite one of many women across the globe – the small angled brush. Such a tool can be found in the craft stores or in the specialised stores that sell arts supplies. What makes the brush super convenient cleaning method is the fact that the hairs are made of specific material which allows you more precision. Pour some nail polish remover into a cup, cover your “work station” with a paper towel and soak the brush into the remover. Blot the excessive amount into the paper towel. You can also use it to clean the brush from the accumulated nail polish.

Actually, applying some moisturising cream before starting polishing your nails is recommended as it will help you clean the cuticles easier after that but you have to be careful not to put any cream on the nails themselves. They have to be completely dry for achieving great results.
