I'm right handed and I've been working on painting my nails better with my left hand. It's getting there, but my hand is still shaky and not very steady, especially not when trying to do nail art design thingies. Uh, anyway, could you give me any tips you have for strengthening my skillsssssss in my left hand? :)

Rest your left elbow on a desk or something and position your right fingers to make it easier to paint so you arent twisting your left hand awkwardly. Just keep both hands rested on a flat sturdy surface, it'll help a lot!

Take your time. what works for me is having my hand positioned at an angle. make sure you take off any excess nail polish from the brush.

There's a little trick you can do for nail art with your opposite hand.. Check out ProfessionalDQ on YouTube. The video is called ambidextrous nail art: the plastic bag method.
