What's the best way to do a manicure and not get any polish on your skin?

I love dark colors but whenever it gets on my skin, it looks bad. Also, if I have a nail polish that peels off easily (its cheap but its really pretty!) do you have any tips on how I can keep it from coming off (in one piece)? THANKS!What's the best way to do a manicure and not get any polish on your skin?
You get better with practice, but getting it off your skin is easy. Just put lotion on your hands before bed, in the morning the polish will lift right off your skin. Use a cuticle trimmer to cut the polish off by the nail.What's the best way to do a manicure and not get any polish on your skin?
1) put tape around the edges





2) put a clear polish on it like express finish advanced wear. it from mabelline #10
they sell these little nail polish remover pens and I run those around the edge of my fingernails. as for the cheapy polish i buy it too but if you get some nice and $$ clear polish to put over it, it stays for a while. good lluck!
Use baby oil around your cuticles and the polish peels right off and leave your cuticle moist. {make sure the polish is completely dry before you peel the polish off or it will end up ruined.}
