Love the look of manicured nails but don't want to spend the money to get them done professionally? Below are five simple tips on how to get a beautiful manicure at home:
- Remove Old Polish: Before beginning your manicure, you'll want to ensure that any old polish has been removed.
- File and Buff: File and buff your nails into the shape you want them to be prior to applying color. Filing after painting your nails can cause the polish to chip.
- Soften Cuticles: Use a cuticle cream and the end of a rounded nail file to apply cream to cuticles to moisturize them and push them back.
- Prep and Apply Polish: Start your manicure by using a base coat, your preferred color, and then finish with a top coat. Using all three products will ensure that your color goes on in a uniform manner and that the color is sealed in for a longer-lasting manicure.
- Allow Polish to Dry: Allow each coat of polish you apply to dry for five minutes before applying an additional layer. Allowing each layer to dry completely will prevent smudges and mishaps. In addition, your color will look best if you apply 2-3 thin layers of polish rather than one thick layer.
And that’s it! Now you can have beautifully manicured nails without ever having to step into a nail salon!
