Tips for the Manicure at home- Make your hands feel softer and look prettier

• Before beginning, wash your nails thoroughly, even with the polish on your fingernails.
• Make sure that your nailpolish is not clumpy and thick. This causes uneven application and bubbles. If this happens, add a few drops of polish thinner (don't use nail polish remover) to the bottle and shake it well.
• Use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol or nail polish remover to clean the surface of your nails before you paint.
• Use brush to round out the V shaped angle formed where the two strokes converge at the center of the nail.
• Apply a base coat to smoothen out the nails' ridges, allowing polish to go on more evenly. It also protects nails from staining when you wear dark polish colours.
• Try mostly to get your nails clean underneath your nail cartilage where it is not attached to the skin before beginning.
• If you notice growths, tiny knobs under there, or any redness or dirt substance that does not come out from under your fingernail bed, stop this process, and go to see a medical doctor.
• Sometimes it is necessary to remove dead cuticle or hangnails with small scissors or cuticle nippers. Be very careful when you do this.
• Wipe your brush carefully along the bottle's neck when you remove it from the bottle. This removes excess, bubble-producing nail colour.
• Apply cuticle remover by following the directions on the cuticle remover tube or bottle.
• Prevents nail damages like splits, tears, and fragile tips.
• Discourages wrinkling of the skin on the hand, which is one of the first body part to show the sign of aging.
• The final step is to apply lotion. This can be done if time permits. Nails need to be completely dry.
