HOW TO DO A MANICURE AT HOME:

Step 1: Remove any nail polish (use acetone free nail polish remover) from your nails. Cover the cuticles with a cuticle cream and soak your hands in warm water mixed with some shampoo. You can even add some essential oil to relax your senses. Do this for 10-15 minutes. This step will soften the cuticles and loosen any dirt present underneath the nails.

Step 2: Apply a cuticle cream to prevent any infections.

Step 3:  Push the cuticles back with the pusher. Do this gently and don’t go overboard as you can end up damaging the soft skin along the bottom of your nail beds, resulting in infections.

Step 4: file your nails in the desired shape.

Step 5: File in one direction; don’t use to and fro motion.

Step 6: With a nipper, remove the dead skin near the corners of the nails. Take care of the cuticles as well. Again be gentle.

Step 7: Apply a scrub and rub gently for about a minute to get rid of dead skin. Wash off.

Step 8: Buff the nails to give them a glossy appearance

Step 9: Apply a good hand and nail cream to moisturize the hands and nails.

Step 10: finish off with your favorite nail polish. I am using a clear coat

Ta- Da your Manicure is done!!!!! Wasn’t it Easy-Peasy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

XOXO
