Manicure Essentials: What to Use Instead of Cotton Wool

You don't actually use cotton wool for manicures! You might use it for some steps, but it's not the primary material. Here's what's commonly used:

* Cotton balls: These are used for applying nail polish remover, cleaning up spills, and removing excess polish from the skin around the nails.

* Cotton rounds: These are similar to cotton balls, but they're round and can be used for applying lotion or cuticle oil.

* Cotton swabs: These are used for cleaning up small spills, applying cuticle oil, and cleaning under the nails.
