How to paint with your non-dominant hand

Painting your nails at home can feel like a relaxing self-care ritual—until it’s time to paint your other hand! If you’ve ever struggled to paint with your non-dominant hand, you’re not alone. The good news? It gets easier with practice, just like any other skill!

Tips for painting with your other hand

One tip to make it smoother is to stabilize both hands on a flat surface like your table. Having a firm base gives you more control and reduces the chances of smudging. When it comes to your non-dominant hand, try limiting its movement while you paint. Instead of moving the brush too much, roll the fingers on your dominant hand to control where the polish goes. It’s a game changer for precision!

With a little patience and these small adjustments, you’ll soon be painting both hands like a pro. Remember, practice makes perfect, and you’ve got this!
