The key to a perfect manicure is nail prep, I learnt Manicure, facial, massage and waxing at college so I thought I would share my knowledge...
You will need....
Top/base coat
Nail Polish
Nail file
Cuticle softening cream
Cuticle Remover
Cotton Wool
Cuticle stick
Nail Varnish Remover
A bowl with warm water
1 File your nails in one direction to the desired length and shape. |
2.Rub Cuticle Softening cream into your nails massaging for a minute. Leave excess on. |
3. Place hand into the warm water - adding some nail oil to the water will make your cuticles even easier to remove. |
4 Apply cuticle remover gel onto nails leaving for one minute. |
5. Push back cuticles with the cuticle stick, removing the cuticle that comes off and clean under the free edge with the pointed side. |
6. Clean nails with nail varnish remover to remove any grease. |
7. Paint the base/top coat onto the nails starting with the thumb and going to the little finger next. |
8. Once dry, paint on your chosen colour- again starting with the thumb going onto the little finger. Repeat all nails with a second coat once dry. |
9.Once colour is completely dry add the top coat. |
Voila! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
