My hack is getting really angry, taking the polish off and redoing it, then smudging my other nails trying to clean that nail and having to completely redo everything, deciding I hate that colour now and doing something completely different, and that's why it takes me 2 hours to do my nails.

Ok, I had to stop at tip #1 because I officially feel validated with my choices in life. This is the ONLY way I know to fix my smudges and I have felt so weird doing this, but now I am so pleased to know that it is the "Kelli approved" way to do it! Thank you for helping me to feel like a more "sane" person. Alright...on to the rest of the video. (because I have some smudges that dried before I realized I made them and I need to figure out if there is anything I can do.)

I do the “lick test” all the time when I use traditional polish to make sure it’s perfectly dry before sealing it with a LED/UV TOP COAT,to make it last longer. If it tastes bitter it still needs more drying time. I do this only if I’m in a rush,otherwise I leave it till the next day before I top it with the LED/UV gel topcoat.I have so many trad polishes, so this way I get longer wear time with all my choices of colours and plus,LED/UV gels are far too expensive to have a wide gamma of colours! Great money saving tip 👍🏼

WEIRDEST. THING. EVER. I just painted my nails about an hour or so ago and I bumped one of them on something. It was a small little chop in my pointer finger. My automatic response is to put my tongue on it, with some pressure, because your tongue is wet enough to glide and not smudge, and the pressure and warmth helps melt and smooth the polish back into place. I've been doing this my whole life. And I literally sat there thinking, "Am I a friggin' weirdo for doing this? Is there anyone else is the world that knows this works? Is there any ways people have talked about fixing this problem? Should I post this as some kind of helpful hint on KZbin somewhere in case I _am_ the only weirdo that does this?" I can't believe how coincidental this is.

Top coat "fixes" so many mistakes. It's my first line of defense if the smudge isn't too bad. Another trick is to use a bit of acetone on a brush and a (very) light touch to "smooth" out the smudge, and then top coat will cover up the rest. This works best with solid color creams or jellies. Not so well with some other types of polishes, although some shimmers and holos can turn out well enough if you do it right. Fuggadabout it with chromatics and brushstrokey polishes. My other trick is a cousin of your nail arit track. I keep sheets of decals on hand for when I smudge but don't have time for fussing over a mistake. Slap one over the mistake, lacquer with a quick-dry top coat. Done.

Yeah, so..... I can't bring myself to put a polished nail onto my tongue! But the other tips are FANTASTIC!!!! Thanks, Kelli!

+MomNMe Beauty LOL. That's a fair statement. I feel like Van Gogh when I lick my own nail, I suffer for my art 😂😂 I'm glad you enjoyed the other tips though!

U are so gorgeous & funny lol 😊❤ I have severe Ocd (seriously I've been diagnosed) & my nails are something I obsess about. I just purchased a polish thinner bc most of my polishes have thickened. Thanks for the tips 😁

Oh thank you Cindy! I can relate to that struggle. It's hard when you start to obsess/do compulsive actions over something that is meant to be a de-stressing hobby. I'm happy to offer any small relief with my content!

As a dude just getting into manicures, there is sooooo much I don't know. Sitting here with three smudged nails after leaving the salon. The artist said it would only take 7 minutes to dry! Ha!! Well, lesson learned, but I'm still loving the color. Thanks for the tips!
@KelliMarissa3 жыл бұрын
Haha don't worry, I'm sure we've all been there! It's frustrating because it seems most salons don't use a quick dry top coat - so it takes forever to fully dry!!
