VERY CAREFULLY!! That is a dilemma; had that prob for years. But finally resolved myself to the fact that the left hand is gonna be a bit messy. Take a Q-tip dip in remover and clean up the overage around cuticles etc.Practice makes.....not perfect but better.

Pracitice is the best way- I'm left handed, so I paint the nails on my right hand, but I have my boyfriend paint my left hand (he's really pretty decent at it too). If I'm in a fix, I can do my left hand with the right, but I keep a bottle of nailpolish remover handy for the inevitable mistakes.

It might be a good idea to let someone else do it for you if you suck at painting your nails as bad as you say you do. I'm left handed and I paint my right hand with my left, and my left with my right without any problems. My mom is right handed and has a lot of trouble with that hand (she had carpel tunnel surgery a few years ago and it didn't do any good at all and she has nerve issues from it) so she can't do her nails that good so she has me do them for her when she wants them done. If you don't want a friend/your mom/sister to do them for you, all I can say is just practice. Go slow and don't hurry or be nervous. With a little time and patience, you just might get it.

It just takes practice. Always paint your right hand nails with your left hand first though as it's more difficult when your nails are wet.

It's not impossible. When your painting your right hand, just go slower and be more careful. Also, if you do happen to go outside the surface of the nail when painting, you remove the nail polish using nail polish remover.

i used to have the same problem. but like everyone here is saying is just practice. what i find to be easy for me is to go very slowly and first draw a line down the center of my nail and then very slowly fill up the right side and the left. then do the top coat. and if you get paint on edges just use a qtip with nailpolish remover to take it off. hope i helped!

You just have to grow accustomed to painting your right hand nails. There is no simple solution. You could always ask someone else to help you out, but that might not be the best solution.

omg! dude, it just takes practice. i used 2 have the same problem, but now sometimes my right hand will look better after i finish!! start off practicing w/ that cheap peel-off nail polish. that way, if u mess up, just peel it off. then, once u think u have gotten a bit more skilled at it, u can use real nail polish. hope this helps u!!!

Move your right hand, instead of the brush with your left. I'm right handed, and I usually mess up my right hand. But since I've been moving my hand instead of the brush, there havent' been as many runoffs!
She's asking for advice, not for people to be complete dickwads!! Learn some manners! Better yet, learn what the word manner means, then try to learn some!!
