Manicure at home !!( picture tutorial )

Hey friends..hope u r all doing good...i know i am not a professional to do professional mani..bt this is my way of mani,and i am getting good result like this..thats y want to share with u all...

Remove. Take off old color with Nailpolish remover on a cotton ball. 

Trim. Cut and file nails to your length of choice. As for shape, there are two main options square or rounded.(But i didnt trim mine becoz i am waiting for longer nails)







Soak. Rest hands in a bowl of warm water for five minutes.here  i added liquid soap to soften nails. Make sure the water’s not too hot or it will dry out your hands and nails.




Soften. Apply cuticle oil or lotion ( i applied olive oil )on dry hands to nourish and soften rough spots.






Push. Use a cuticle pusher or u can use a Q-tip to press cuticles back so they don’t get in the way of the polish.
I dont prefer to cut cuticles as i am scared of that.


Scrub  Scrub hands with a body scrub or homemade mixture of sugar and honey . Scrub for two to three minutes, then wash thoroughly.

Gently scrub the nails with smooth nail brush (This step is optonal..if u dont have nail brush..u can skip this or use a soft tooth brush  )


Moisturise. Dry hands and apply ur favourite moisturizer.

Polish. Apply a base coat first, then apply two thin coats of polish.

Here is the final look..i really enjoy this way of doing mani...my hands feel really moisturizing...Try and let me know...


Happy weekend in advance..
Keep smiling
