Here are some tips to get your thumb looking picture perfect...

  1. Nail Bed TLC: Sort out your cuticles and tidy up your nail bed. A neat appearance sets the stage for a polished thumb selfie.

  2. Gentlemen, Groom Those Nails: For the gents out there, trim and clean your nails. A well-groomed look not only enhances your thumb's appearance but also reflects your attention to detail.

  3. Moisturise for a Smooth Finish: Remember to moisturise your thumb. Dry skin is a no-go for a picture-perfect voting selfie. A hydrated thumb ensures a flawless and camera-ready look.

  4. Thumb Decoration: Don't shy away from adding a touch of creativity to your thumb after voting. Whether it's a little sticker or a temporary tattoo, decorating your thumb can add flair to your voting experience and your social media post.

  5. Seek Assistance if Needed: If you're feeling unsure about your thumb's appearance, don't hesitate to ask someone in the queue for their opinion. Remember, everyone's thumb is unique, and embracing its uniqueness is part of the voting process...
