Paint Your Nails a Darker Color
Balayage colorist and owner of Well Salon Savannah Briggs has a very clever hack for getting the dye off your hands. And it starts with your nail color.

“I’m notoriously awful at remembering to wear gloves,” she shares. “One of the best things I found is to have my nails painted a darker color, preferably gel polish.
