Nail care is an important step in looking polished and put together. You've taken the time to paint your nails with finger nail polish at home, but don't forget the last step to give your nails the "fresh from the salon" look.

It's not always easy to keep the polish only where it's supposed to go. Even when you get a professional manicure, they almost always have to clean excess polish from around your nails. When you're working on your own nails, this can be a bit tricky. That's why you need to invest in a nifty little product that makes excess polish clean up a breeze, a nail corrector pen like Essies's nail corrector pen.

Nail corrector pens give you the confidence to apply polish all the way to the edges of your nails without fear of the mess. When your nails are dry, use this tool exactly like a pen. Filled with nail polish remover, when you trace around the bed of your nail, you'll remove all of the polish that remains behind giving you a clean look.
