Manicure...At home!

Follow These simple steps and have beautiful hands. Plus its cheap and quick so you can do it every week!

1. Remove: Take off old color with acetone polish remover on a cotton ball.

  2. Trim: Cut and file nails to your lenght of choice. As for shape, there are two main options Square or      round. I like square as it gives a more modern look.




3. Buff: Buff your nails for shine.


4. Soak: Rest hands in a bowl of warm water for five minutes. Add two tbsp of bath powder or your favorite liquid soap to soften nails. Make sure the water's not too hot.


5. Soften: Apply cuticle oil or lotion on dry hands to nourish and soften rough spots.( If you don't have cuticle oil, olie oil works just well.)

6. Push: Use a cuticle or popsicle stick to press cuticles back so they dont get in the way of the polish.


7. Scrub: Exfoliate hands with a body scrub or homemade mixture of olive oil and kosher salt or war sugar. 8. Scrub for two to three mins, then wash thoroughly.
9. Moisturize: Dry hands and apply a rich moisturizer.
10. Polish: Apply a base coat first, then apply two thin coats of polish. Finish with a top coat.
