Removing paint around nails

Hi guys, I recently started painting my nails about once a month after my very talented ex would do them for me and got me into wearing nail polish in general (im a 23yo straight guy). Im not super coordinated and my hands sort of shake, but I try my best to get a few clean coats on (top and base coat too). I’ve definitely gotten better over the past few times but I still manage to get a lot of paint around the nails and on my skin. Any good ways to avoid/ remove this? I usually just put some acetone on a q-tip and clean up afterwards but thats pretty time consuming. Any tips would be appreciated :)
