DIY MANICURE
If you don't have time to go to beauty saloon for a manicure, you can try this easy steps in doing your own manicure.
1. To start, soak a cotton ball in non-acetone remover, and then use it to wipe away any old polish. If your nails are bare then you don't have to do this step. Next, use clippers to trim any split or ragged tips. To make your nails look more even, trim your longest nails until they're about the same length as their shorter counterparts, then file it. Always sand in one direction to create the shape you want (oval or square are easiest) . Flatten any nail bumps with a buffer.
2. Run your hands under warm water for about two minutes, this softens your cuticles and gets rid of any leftover remover. Then take a cuticle stick and gently push back the skin at the base of your nail bed, the bed's right below that half-moon on your nail. Next, give your hands a rubdown with lotion and wipe your palms clean on a dry towel.
3. Douse a cotton ball with astringent and wipe your nails; the alcohol dries then, making polish stick. But alcohol dries cuticles, so swipe them with oil to rehydrate but please keep the oil off your nails. Wait two minutes, and then apply base coat, two coats of polish, and a top coat.
