Use Dryer Lint to Paint Toenails

When you are out of cotton balls, or have no desire to shove those uncomfortable manufactured foam pieces - cute as they are - between your tosies, head for the dryer. The lint works like cotton balls.

I found that pushing the lint as far down as you can toward your foot creates enough space to get the brush and polish on each nail, individually and smoothly.

PROBLEM: before you use the lint, check for clothing fibers and pull them out before using. Otherwise, the hair-size fibers can interfere with your nail polishing efforts for a smooth coat.
