Hey, it's me again, Kalia25. I have a little something to share with you again, on what I learned in cosmetology class: how to do your own at home manicure. Let me give you the procedure, and then you can make those nails absolutely beautiful!
 
First of all... here are your supplies that you will need to do your own at-home manicure:
 
-Nail Polish
-Cotton Balls
-Nail Files
-Orange Sticks
-Nailbrush
-Cuticle Oil
-Hand Cream
-Base Coat
-Top Coat
-Nail Polish

Now... here is what you do with all of those supplies:
 
1) Remove nailpolish with cottonball... if you have any on.
 
2) Put some warm water in a bowl and put your fingers in the water for about five minutes. This helps to make the cuticles softer. After you are finished soaking, use a nail brush to remove dirt from the nail beds.
 
3) After you are finished doing that you should dry off your nails, and push back your cuticles with and orange stick.
 
4) File your nails, and shape them also if you would like. It is important not to file your nails going back and forth because it can weaken your nail. You should just file going in one direction.
 
5) Apply cuticle oil onto your cuticles.
 
6) After that, you should condition your hands and nails. Use a hand-cream and give hand massages on the palms of hands, knuckles, etc.
 
7) Take off any excess cuticle oil or moisturizer from your hands and nails.
 
8) Apply a base coat to your nails.
 
9) Apply your favorite nail polish to your lovely nails. Apply two thin coats, and wait 10 minutes in between coats.
 
10) After that, apply a top coat which helps your nails not to chip.
 
Well, what are you waiting for?? Go and try it! You'll love it!!!
