Clean them cuticles up!

So I realized... I'm messy somewhat when it comes to getting a smooth cuticle mainly when I'm painting with my non dominate hand, btw I'm totally a lefty. So of course the hand that I end up showing is my left hand because my accent finger is on that. So time to shape up and work on smooth lines. So at first I was using a rose wood stick and that just wasn't smooth enough, and then I use an OPI acrylic brush from beauty school, the bristles weren't stiff enough. So I was digging thru a make up bag and found a brush stuffed away in a corner. I used it maybe twice being it's a concealed brush and I normally don't wear concealer. So I figure I'd give it a try. To my surprise it worked very well.
The bristles are firm enough to not fan out as you glide it a long the cuticles. I've read a lot people wait till the polish is dry but I find that it's easier for me to clean up right after I polish, my skin soaks up the color other wise. Despite my middle finger the cuticle is slighted thicker there and I have some work to do on softening those up.
