Step-by-step guide to manicure at home
Step 1: Remove the old nail polish. The first step in the manicure process is to remove the old nail polish. Use nail polish remover to remove the nail polish. Make sure to completely remove the old nail polish for best results.
Step 2: File the nails. Give them the desired shape, using a file. Be careful not to break them.
Step 3: Soften the nails. To make cuticle removal easier, soak your nails in a bowl of warm water for 5-10 minutes. If you want, you can add a little almond oil or other essential oils to moisturize the nails.
Step 4: Push back the cuticles. Using a special cuticle pusher, gently push the cuticles back. Make sure you do this carefully and don’t press too hard as this can cause bleeding or pain.
Step 5: Moisturize your hands. After pushing back the cuticles, moisturize your hands with a hand cream or cuticle oil. This will help prevent the skin from drying out and keep your hands soft and moisturized.
Step 6: Apply the base coat. To protect the nails and achieve a lasting manicure, apply a base coat. Make sure to cover the entire nail surface and let it dry completely.
Step 7: Apply the nail polish in an even layer and let it dry completely. To get a more intense color, you can apply a second layer of nail polish after the first layer has completely dried.
Step 8: Apply a top coat. After the nail polish has dried completely, apply a top coat to protect the nails and keep the color bright.
Tricks to get the at-home manicure you want
Choosing the right nail polish color. A good tip is to choose a color that complements your skin tone and outfit. You can also opt for classic shades like red or nude that never go out of style.
Spot and bug fixes. If you accidentally smudge nail polish, soak a cotton pad in acetone and correct the mistake.
To extend the life of the manicure, avoid spending a lot of time with your hands in water for the first hour after applying the nail polish. After a few days, you can apply a top coat to maintain the shine and protect the nails from chipping.
After your manicure, moisturize your hands and nails regularly to keep them hydrated and healthy. You can also apply cuticle oil to keep your cuticles soft and prevent them from drying out.
