Default How To Give Yourself A Homemade Manicure..

Hello everyone..

My today's post is specially for ladies/girls
I am going to tell you about homemade manicure..
Ok..we will proceed stepwise..

Step 1 : Remove your old nail polish. If it’s a bright shade (red, bright pink, black), place the cotton round dipped in nail polish remover on the nail and wait for 5 seconds before removing – it will come off faster and easier!

Step 2 : Shaping the nail is the next step.First things first! Take your time removing old nail polish. If it’s a bright shade (red, bright pink, black), place the cotton round dipped in nail polish remover on the nail and wait for 5 seconds before removing – it will come off faster and easier!

Step 3 : Softening the cuticles is accomplished by soaking the fingers in a small finger bowl filled with soapy water. A few drops of mild dish soap added to water in the finger bowl works well. Carefully dry the hand by holding a small towel and place, the hand on the towel. Dry the hand while simultaneously pushing back the cuticle and skin on each fingernail. Be very gentle.

Step 4 : Apply cuticle remover by following the directions on the cuticle remover tube or bottle. Gently loosen the cuticle with an orangewood stick or cuticle pusher. Keep the cuticle moist while working. Wash gently and dry.

Step 6 : ometimes it is necessary to remove dead cuticle or hangnails with small scissors or cuticle nippers. Be very careful when you do this.

Step 7 : Apply cuticle oil or cream at the base of the nail. Brush nails gently in a soapy water with a downward motion. Dry hands and nails thoroughly. Next use a very fine emery board. Buff nails giving them a smooth beveled edge. Wipe nails to remove any particles of cuticle or dead skin.

Step 8 : Apply base coat using long strokes. When the base coat is dry to a light touch apply polish.

Step 9 : Apply polish lightly with strokes from the base to the tip. Excess polish on cuticle or nail can be easily removed with cotton tipped orangewood stick moistened with polish remover.

Step 10 : Apply a top or seal coat. Brushing the top or seal coat around and under the tips of the nail will give the nail added protection.

Step 11 : The final step is to apply lotion. This can be done if time permits. Nails need to be completely dry. Start at the wrists moving down to the fingertips with light rubbing motion.


Hope this wil help you all
