When the great people from Q-tips asked if I'd like to review their new Q-tips Precision Tips, I agreed instantly! I've been using regular Q-tips for various beauty-related things for years, and these new Precision Tips looked even more handy for beauty purposes. The Precision Tips are much more narrow and pointy that the normal rounded Q-tip, making them ideal for nail polish clean-up!
I did this mani with OPI Alpine Snow and used a Q-tip Precision Tip swab to clean-up the edges. It worked beautifully and the pointed tip was perfect for making a nice rounded shape near the cuticle.
I actually really liked using the Precision Tip swab instead of a brush for clean-up. Sometimes with a brush I feel like I can start accidentally making the shape of the polish too straight and severe. With the Precision Tip swab, it was easier to get a rounded shape.
I also decided to try my hand at using the Q-tips Precision Tips for nail art. If you didn't have a dotting tool and you were just dying to do a polka dot mani, you could definitely improvise and use one of these!
Depending on how much pressure I exerted on the swab, I was able to create both large and small polka dots (using OPI Kiss Me on My Tu-lips).
Q-tips Precision Tips also have a wide variety of beauty uses outside of nail polish. They are the perfect shape for removing stray eyeshadow or liner when you are applying your eye make-up. They are excellent for smudging eye liner to create a smoky look. I'm even going to keep a few in a bag in my purse for quick touch-ups when I notice that my eye make-up has migrated.
