I’ve read this tip of yours before, but reading it again, confirms that I need a brush to use with acetone. Thanx for pointing out that some polish might be left in the acetone. Before you did that I did not see the need for decanting some of it. This week-end I’ll be off looking for that cheap stiff brush! (No Target in this neck of the woods, so I will have to be creative…)

I want to add, after a discussion with my mom today, that a dampen dish is not really necessary for this. You could easily use a shot glass (which is about twice the size), though I don’t really really recommend the use of the acetone cap. The reason for this is that some polish will be left in the acetone and you don’t want that mixing with the “main” bottle.

Great tip, thanks! I’m a cosmetologist and I still find it difficult to polish nails without flooding my cuticles, so this will definitely help.

I do this as well at home after I saw the manicurist do it at the salon. It is terrific–especially for those dark colors!

Hey Christine:

I got one of these brushes when I read about it on your "my manicure routine" entry. Anyway, I'll testify that it works great. Thanks for the tip.

What a great idea! I know that they use brushes & acetone to do a french pedi when I go to the salon, but I never thought about using it for clean up! I'm definitely going to have to get a little dish & a brush!

Thanks for the tip!
