Well, I guess... Just a lot of practice. I hate having to do that too but it gets easier the more you do it;)

I had trouble with that too. You just have to practice a lot. Also, paint with your left hand first, then your right hand (or vice versa - which ever hand is your writing hand, paint with it second)

Practise. It also helps if you can generally use your left hand well, so learning to do other things with your left hand will make it easier. ^_^

Emler's glue. Sounds crazy, I know but put the glue on the skin around your nails, making sure it's not on your actual nail, paint your nails and leflt them fully dry then peel off. I'm a leftie so I do this on my right hand and it works wonders!

Put tape around your nails, take it slow & focus on using three even strokes. Use a q-tip with nail polish remover to clean up the edges.

Put your elbow on the table to help you keep steady. Go slowly, and just keep practicing. If you get it in your skin,
Just wash your hands with soap and the polish will come off :)
