Do-It-Yourself Manicure
Are your nails uneven, nail polish chipped and your hands dry and flaky. Then it is probably time to give yourself a Do-It-Yourself Manicure.
This great guide will help you get your hands and nails in Tip Top shape.1.
Remove any nail polish with an acetone-free nail polish remover, and gently file your nails into shape. Only file in one direction - don't saw back and forth. (Try Bloom's Nail File.) You may also like to buff your nails to remove ridges and give a shine to your nails, but don't do this too often as it thins and weakens the nails.2.
Exfoliate your hands with a body scrub. Massage the scrub mixture all over your hands, then rinse well.3.Slather on some hand cream, massaging it well into the skin.
4.Massage some of the hand cream into your cuticles, then very gently push them back with a cuticle stick wrapped in a tissue. Don’t cut or try and remove your cuticles, it will mess up your nail growth!
5.
Remove any excess cream from your nails with some nail polish remover, then apply a base coat (such as Christina Fitzgerald "Ruth" or OPI Start to Finish) or nail strengthener (such as OPI Nail Envy or Qtica Natural Nail Growth Stimulator) . Base coats protect your nails from staining, and nail strengtheners help to harden nails and encourage growth.6.Apply two to three coats of your chosen nail polish, then a top coat (such as OPI RapiDry, OPI Start to Finish, Christina Fitzgerald "Jen"). Make sure you allow at least an hour
for your nails to dry, otherwise you’ll get smudges or dents in the polish. If you're in a hurry, apply OPI Drip Dry Drops for faster drying.7.Once everything is completely dry, rub in some more hand cream. Voila, beautiful hands!
