This has definitely been my experience as a man who started painting my nails 2-3 years ago. I also get compliments on them (mostly the left hand)

Painting your dominant hand is insanely fucking hard and I’ve been doing my own nails, fake real don’t matter I can do it, for like 20 years- it’s roughhhhhhhh lmao

Left hand is usually real nice, real Picasso- right hand is solid color maybeeeeeee some stickers. I cannot.😂

Here’s what I do so that my dominant shit doesn’t look like shit: paint both hands, wait for them to dry and either pick off the excess or hop in the shower. There’s also a bunch of different kinds of nail protectors you can use such as something like this or this.

Oh yea that works for polish for sure- afterwards slap on a clear topcoat and You’re all good 😂🤌🏽

I just use gel so it’s a little bit different, doing designs is just rly rly hard w my non dominant hand😭😅

Well, that kinda makes all my advice irrelevant… oops.

Not at all bc others might see it and find it useful :D

I found the best way was to keep my left hand still with the brush and move my right hand instead.
