There are methods that will help make the manicure perfect, while not staining the skin and cuticle:
- apply petroleum jelly;
- use pva;
- we put fat cream;

There is another method - to stick an adhesive tape, but it is ineffective and there will be no sense from it. Consider them all in turn.
Vaseline
To create a protective barrier near the nail, you can use petroleum jelly. It is necessary to carefully apply petroleum jelly on the cuticle and the skin around the nail. This material has such a structure that allows it to clothe the skin and prevent the varnish from wilting into it.

It would seem a very dubious method, but effective. Apply glue to the skin and cuticle with a small brush. You need to be careful to glue under the nail is not numb. When the air acts on the glue, it turns into a film that envelops the skin and does not let the varnish through. Material that has fallen on the protective film can be removed with a cotton pad moistened with water.

Fat cream
The most popular and used way to protect the cuticle from unnecessary damage to the varnish is to use a rich cream. Due to the density, which is inherent in it, a film already known and so necessary for protection is formed. Like petrolatum, carefully and carefully using a brush, apply a cream to the skin surface and cuticle, removing it with a cotton swab at the end.
