Method two: Sally Hansen No More Mistakes Manicure Clean up Pen. See here
These wonderful little pens are perfect for minor touch-ups and lighter polish. I made the mistake of using it for darker colors and had difficulty using it later on. Still good to have on hand and come with refillable tips.

Method two: Nail Polish Remover and a brush
I love the little glass dipping cup that they have at manicure shops. I went ahead and got one of my own for my own manicures. Here I use a little acetone and a nail art brush in a chisel tip and point tip to clean around the edges. Brushes are good for major goofs and getting underneath the nail.

Method three: Nail Polish Remover and an Orange Stick
By far, the best way to clean up the cuticle and make a clean, professional manicure. Dip the orange stick in the nail polish remover or acetone and trace the cuticle along the nail bed. This one requires the most pressure put on the nail/skin. A Ginormous thanks (for the hot tip) to the Owner of Kell’s DIY Nails on Facebook. 😉
