Nail polish for those who can't color within the lines

Another sneaky trick, this one for nail polish:

Staying within the lines is always a challenge for me, and those little "correction pens" are no match for the massive amounts of nail polish that spill over on to my fingers. So rather than make myself crazy, I just go with it: I slather on nail polish like a 3 year old, just making sure the coat is even and not worrying about how much of it winds up on my fingers.

After it's dry, I put massive quantities of baby oil, olive oil, Vaseline, or any other oily product, on my finger tips and let it sit for about 10 minutes. After that, I swear I can just scrape the polish off my skin, easy peasy. And it has the added benefit of intense moisturizing. Or, if that sounds unpleasant, it will also come off if you just soak your hands in warm water long enough (or just hop in the shower).
