Step 1. Remove your old nail polish ...
First things first! Take your time removing old
nail polish. If it's a bright shade (red, bright pink, black), place the cotton round dipped in
nail polish remover on the nail and wait for 5 seconds before removing - it will come off faster and easier!
2 Shape the nail ...
Shaping the
nail is the next step. The fingernails should be filed into oval tips. Begin on the left hand with the little finger and work towards the thumb. Hold the finger between your thumb and the first two fingers of the left hand. Hold the fingernail file in the right hand. Slant the fingernail file so that the filing is done mostly to the under side of the nail. File each fingernail from the corner to the center, going from right to left and then from left to right. On each side of the fingernail, stroke in one direction only. Repeat the process on the right hand.
11 Apply lotion ...
The final step is to apply lotion. This can be done if time permits. Nails need to be completely dry. Start at the wrists moving down to the fingertips with light rubbing motion.
Congratulations! Now you saved yourself $15-$30 and you've done your own manicure like a pro! :) How does that feel? How do your nails look? I am so excited I can't wait to hear how the steps worked for you!
