I end up straining to see through the screen on my camera and can't get into comfortable, natural positions to reach my nails when I'm shooting!<br /><br />However, and this sounds so embarrassing but I totally own it- I bought a set of magnifying/reading glasses at the dollar tree last week and they help SO MUCH!

I think it's the way I use them, and the way I store them.

So once I have a video camera,it would probably help to clean up in Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635831421479485756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895821817929028334.post-29038960124806535402012-04-14T12:16:28.262-05:002012-04-14T12:16:28.262-05:00I think if you make sure to rinse all the acetone ...I think if you make sure to rinse all the acetone out of your brush with water after each use, the bristles will last longer!Cindy-yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11840393142422292621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895821817929028334.post-53193531547884928222012-04-14T11:21:37.321-05:002012-04-14T11:21:37.321-05:00Thanks for this.

I love being able to look like my nails were polished perfectly, even though I can't do it to save my life! <br /><br />When I first started using this technique, it would take me almost an hour to clean up around my nails. Then I figured out- bigger brushes are better, and it's ok to let some acetone flood around your cuticles. :DLayniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717662043271074753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895821817929028334.post-54723017937111154742012-04-14T09:24:08.661-05:002012-04-14T09:24:08.661-05:00great tutorial...this is exactly what i do!great tutorial...this is exactly what i do!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623172353826745931noreply@blogger.com
