If your piece of leather will fit in the sink, great! Fill it up with enough water to submerge the leather. You can also use a container or tub, filling your chosen container up with water. Just make sure your leather will fit in the container without the water overflowing. You can use warm water or room temperature water. Once you've filled up a container or sink, place your leather in the water. You want the leather to be fully submerged in the water, so you may have to twist it around a little for the water to soak into the leather. Make sure your leather is entirely saturated with water. A good way to check for this is to wait until there are no more bubbles coming from the leather. Once you think it's saturated with water, let the leather continue to soak for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes are up, put on the wet leather. While this may not be the most comfortable way to wear your leather, it's important for you to move around with it on to stretch it out. Wear the leather for an hour or two, continuing to bend the parts of the leather you wish to be stretched. This works best when you're dealing with leather clothing, shoes, or accessories, such as a belt. If you're wary of submerging your leather in a tub of water, you can use rubbing alcohol and water instead. This will simply be sprayed onto specific parts of your leather as opposed to saturating it entirely. Combine the rubbing alcohol and water into a bowl, stirring it around. Once the solution is mixed, pour it into an empty spray bottle. If you don't have a spray bottle, you can also use a paper towel or cloth. Dip the paper towel into the mixture, making sure that it's damp but not soaking wet. Spray the solution onto the parts of the leather that you want to stretch out. If you're spraying an article of clothing, aim for the areas that will be bending when you wear them. You don't need to completely saturate the leather, but it should be wet. If you're using a paper towel, dab the leather with the damp paper towel to transfer the mixture onto the leather. Right after you've applied the mixture to the leather, put it on. Bend and stretch the parts that have the mixture on them. Wear the leather until the spots where you applied the alcohol are completely dry. Wear thick socks if you're spraying the alcohol mixture onto your shoes before putting the leather shoes on to stretch them out. If you've applied the alcohol to something other than a wearable item, bend and stretch the item using your hands.

Q: While you can find nude nail polishes in a variety of finishes, including shimmer, matte, and metallic, the manicure looks most flattering if you opt for a creme shade. That's because the polish's shine will compliment your skin tone while still looking natural. You can opt for a sheer or opaque nude shade depending on your preference. However, sheer polishes tend to work best because they allow some of your natural nail to show through. If there are some imperfections in your natural nails, such as as discolorations or ridges, an opaque polish can help hide them. When you're choosing a nude polish, you should select a shade that has the same undertone has your skin. If you have cool-toned skin and opt for a warm nude polish, the shade will clash with your skin. Be sure to match the polish's undertone to that of your skin. If the veins on the inside of your wrist are blue or purple, you likely have cool-toned skin. If the veins on the inside of your wrist appear green, you likely have warm-toned skin. If your veins seem to be a mix of blue or green, you may have neutral skin, which means both warm and cool nude polish will work for you. When you do nude nails, you don't necessarily want the polish to match your skin exactly. Instead, you want a slight contrast between the two, so the manicure looks intentional. Choose a polish that's a shade lighter or darker than your skin to create some contrast.
A: Opt for a creme polish. Match your skin's undertone. Go for a polish that's lighter or darker than your skin tone.
