We all want long, healthy, strong nails right? But we also want our nails to look in tip top shape! Here are the steps in to getting the perfect manicure~
Step 1: Remove all nail polish
This is an important step because you want to make sure that your nails are bare before you start your mani. Use a good cotton pad that doesn't leave any fuzzy bits on your nails.
Step 2: File your nails
You want to file your nails according to the shape that you want. Some shapes would be; oval, square, claw. Which ever shape you choose you must not file down the sides of your nail. This will cause your nails to be weaker and more brittle.
Step 3: Push back those cuticles
Pushing back your cuticles will make your nails look more tidy. You should never cut your cuticles because they protect your nails. Pushing them back a bit won't do any harm. You want to first soak your hand in warm water for 5 minutes so that your cuticles soften up. Once that happens you can use your orange stick or popsicle stick to push back your cuticles.
Step 4: Moisturize
You can make an olive oil + sugar scrub to remove all the dead skin off your hands. This will make your hands glow!
Just remember to apply some hand lotion afterwards!

Step 5: Apply nail polish
To complete this mani you want to apply a base coat onto your nails. This will prevent staining. Then apply a nail polish of your choice, once dry apply a second coat. Then apply a top coat to make the colour last longer. And voila! You're at home manicure is complete!
You can easily do the same thing for your toes~ Have fun while you're glamourizing your nails!
