Great tips and tricks!
Thank you Lisa!
I have the very best luck with distilled water. My marbles go much easier since I started using it. I also have the best luck with the waxy-coated 5 oz dixie cups. Perfect size for spreading and dipping. Tape for around your fingers and a scissors to snip it off.
Oh, I'll have to try those cups! I've never tried them. Thanks for adding more tips 🙂 I'll have to let you know how it turns out next time, using the cups that is! Thanks Diane!
Room temperature should be around 72f, if its to warm the polish will dry to fast in the cup. Also make sure you have no fans on near by! >_< (speaking from experience) 🙂
Oh yes! Fans or even an air draft can really throw the whole manicure! Thanks for adding those suggestions!
