Imprint
Hi,
When I paint my toe nails and I forget to use toe separators, some of the nail polish gets onto my skin. Could I use the word 'imprint'?
"I painted my toe nails but I wasn't careful enough and some of the nail polish imprinted on my toes." (the nail polish from one toe nail ends up on the side of the toe next to it)
Thank you.

Ann225 the nail polish imprinted on my toes. Sorry. You can't do that.
- Ann225 the nail polish imprinted on my toes.
- Sorry.
- You can't do that.
- "to imprint" suggests purposely applying pressure, so that leaves out accidental splashes of polish.
- You might say the polish stained your toes, or that it got smudged on your toes, or that it left marks on your toes.
