HOME MANICURE TIPS

HOME MANICURE TIPS
Properly groomed fingernails are not only attractive, they are practical. While maintaining your nails, keep in mind that with a great manicure, you`re less likely to have to repair them later.
Painting your fingernails is an art and it is fun! This do-it-yourself fingernail guide is intended for those who don`t have the time to visit a manicurist and wish to do it at home, or simply don`t want to spend the money.
FILING AND BUFFING YOUR FINGERNAILS
Before you begin an at-home manicure, place your metal nail tools in an antiseptic solution for about 15 minutes to kill any bacteria and germs.
1. Remove your old polish before you begin.
2. Never file the nail in a back and forth motion. Instead, go from side to side, in one direction.
3. Your nails should be shaped into oval tips.
4. Buff the surface of the fingernail after filing.
5. Soften your cuticles by soaking in a small bowl of soapy , warm water or cuticle cream.
6. Gently loosen your cuticles with a cuticle remover or an orangewood stick.
