Methods for Manicure

1) The first step is to remove the old nail polish. Use the cotton to remove the nail color.

2) File your nails accordingly to your desired shape. However make sure notto file the nails when they are wet.

3) And then soak the hands in warm soapy water to soften the dry skin and the cuticles.

4) Apply a combination of soap and salt or sugar to exfoliate your hands. Or you can also prepare your scrub by adding some shampoo in warm water and soak your hands. Then take a lemon and some sugar to exfoliate.

5) Gently dry your hands and push back the cuticles of your nails. Apply a good amount of moisturizer.

6) Now you can apply the nail color if you wish to. If you do not want it, then make sure to apply a nail protector on your nails.

7) When you apply the nail color make sure that you do it in three strokes. One in the middle and two on the sides. Let it completely dry before you switch over to your next task.

When you choose the shape of your nails focus the shape of your fingers. If your fingers are long and thin or short and stubby, they look best with a squared-off oval shape. Oval shape is the best suited to all types of hands.
