Tips for applying nail polish with your non-dominant hand without making mistakes

There is another trick on how to make your nail polish last longer. All you have to do is put your fingers in vinegar for ten minutes before applying your nail polish and the nail polish will last longer than it would otherwise.

It’s also good to “use” your non-dominant hand often

So if you normally write with your right hand, try writing with your left. It’s a fun exercise that trains your mind while also motivating you to step out of your comfort zone, Dr. sc says. Christine Willemerneuroscientist and author of Biohacking Your Brain, regularly practices writing with her non-dominant hand herself.

– Once you start writing with your non-dominant hand, you’ll also start using it to drink, brush your teeth, and so on. These small changes may not seem like a big deal, but this is how your brain makes new connections. I also like to call it “neuronal stretching” – she adds, noting that this is a good thing for improved brain function.

There are also studies demonstrating the benefits of learning to write with your non-dominant hand. In one, right-handed participants were tasked with drawing with their left hand. After just under 200 minutes of drawing, they performed significantly better than they did at the start, suggesting that the brain has the ability to strengthen new connections with the body.

Following the same principle, you can “teach” your non-dominant hand how to properly polish your dominant hand’s nails. In the beginning, there will be uncertainty and mistakes, but over time you will perfect the technique.
