Home Manicures

You can make yourself feel as pampered as you do at a beauty salon without even leaving your home. Outlined below are steps on how to give yourself a manicure, and what you'll need to do it.

Tools You’ll Need:

• nail polish remover
• hand lotion
• nail clippers
• emery board
• cuticle oil
• cuticle stick
• basecoat
• nail polish
• top coat

What to do:

1. Remove all old nail polish thoroughly.
2. Soak your fingers in warm water for 5-10 minutes to soften the cuticles of your nails.
3. Moisturize your hands with a rich hand lotion.
4. Trim and file your nails. Remember to file your nails in one direction only. Avoid the corners of your nails – filing the corners will weaken them.
5. Shape your nails to what suits your hands and fingers. Wash your hands again after this to remove any debris.
6. Rub some cuticle oil into your cuticles to soften them. Let it sit for a few minutes, then push them back with a cuticle stick.
7. Apply a basecoat to your nails. Allow it to dry.
8. Apply nail polish. You’ll want to apply thin layers, with each layer being no more than 3 strokes of the brush (one stroke down the middle of the nail, and then one on each of the sides). In between layers, let polish dry completely.
9. Once the polish has completely dried, add the topcoat.
