Every lady has an inner desire to have beautiful hands & fingernails enamored with the nail paint that perfectly matches with her dresses! In fact, your overall beauty regime is incomplete without manicure and pedicure as they can accentuate your style statement and personality. Hands can be the extension of your personality and properly-manicured hands may speak volumes about the sagacity of fashion as well as personal hygiene tool!
Months back, my opinion was that manicure can be done best only at salon. After all, nothing can be compared to the lavishness of being pampered by the hands of experts. But now I feel that it is just easy said than done. We can’t brace the local traffic jams and push through the sea of folks in order to reach salon; all just for a manicure! Plus the financial constraints too! Whatever the reason is, it is always good to know the procedure of getting manicure at the comforts of home. Just scroll down to know about the step-by-step procedure to get elegant hands and nails.
Step 1- Take away the Nail Stain…
Home manicure procedure needs to begin with a sense of cleanliness. Foremost step is to remove the traces of previously-used nail paint with any fine- quality nail polish remover. Nail paint removers of several reputed brands are generally enriched with vitamins that don’t make your nails dry. Use cotton swabs instead of tissues to remove the stains.
Step 2 – Nail filing…
The very next step is nail filing, which must be executed before soaking as filing wet or damp nails can split the nails. Filing helps you give proper shape to your nails and it is essential to carry out this process without damaging them. Remember that you have to file each and every nail by using emery board or filer from the nail’s corner to the center.
Step 3 – Soaking the Nails for Softening the Cuticles…
Cuticle care is the next step in line, which entails soaking hands in lukewarm water, into which certain liquid soap is dissolved. Drenching fingers in water can make cuticles soften and easy to push. With nail brush, you need to clean nails’ under part to get the grime out. After 5-7 minutes, just take out and dry your hands with towel.
Step 4 – Applying Cuticle Cream or Oil…
Apply cuticle oil or cuticle cream on cuticles and make use of orange stick for pushing back the cuticles softly. Wipe off that stick on a cloth. Once this task is complete, use a cuticle nipper & finally nip off hang nails.
Step 5 – Buffing…
In case you have stains or ridges on nails, then buffing step is meant for you. It helps to smoothen up the nail surface, thereby offering an ultimate shine. You need to apply a buffing cream on nails and then rub the buffer in descending motion. Make sure you don’t buff too vigorously as this can make your nails thin.
Step 6 – Painting or Polishing the Nails…
Apply a base coat carefully and when it dries up, just apply the nail paint onto your nails. The base coat helps to protect nails from being stained out by the nail color. After that, apply nail polish in order to seal the underlying layers. Choose nail polish which will give your hands a glossy finish!
That was all about the complete procedure of home manicure. Wasn’t the process easy? You should try to have Manicure at least twice a week in order to attain best results. In case you are a beauty freak, then you will definitely make an effort to embrace manicure as a part of regular beauty care regimen!
