More than 50% of our daily work is done by hands. How much do we really care for them? A good manicure is really important especially for women. Let me tell you some simple steps to have a good manicure right at home:
Remove any polish stains on your nails.
Soak your fingernails in a hot bowl of water for 5-10 mins.
Cut your nails up to the length you want.
Shape your nails using a filer.
Apply cuticle oil on your fingers.
Gently push the cuticles on your fingernail back using the flat end of a cuticle pusher.
Apply lotion just on your hands & not your nails.
Apply double coat of nail polish and a neutral layer to help the polish stay for long.
To keep your hands soft and protected, wear gloves when working.
For the cuticle oil, I use olive oil and for the moisturizer, I apply Parachute advanced body lotion summer fresh. Since it has mint and coconut milk, it keeps my skin hydrated and cool.
