How to Do a Manicure
A manicure refers to a treatment for the nails in hands. This is also a cosmetic beauty activity. Here are some tips for giving a manicure.
If you have old polish, it is important to remove this first. You can use nail polish remover, which is a liquid substance that you apply on cotton and then rub on your nails. In just a matter of seconds, the old polish will disappear. Removing the old nail polish is as easy as that.
When manicuring, the first step to do is to shape the nails using a nail file. The oval tips of your finger nails should be filed. It is advised, if you are right handed, to do the left hand first. Also, it is suggested that you start with the little finger and work towards the thumb.
The next step after shaping the nails is to soften the cuticles. You can buy a cuticle remover in drugstores or cosmetic departments. A cuticle remover is used to soften the cuticles so that they can be easily removed. Fingers can first be soaked in a bowl of warm water. Removing the soft cuticles is then made easier with a cuticle pusher or orangewood. Removing dead cuticles is also important when cleaning the nails.
After this, cream or cuticle oil should be applied at the nail's base. The nails will then be brushed gently in a downward direction and brushed with soapy water.
The nails are then ready for a base coat. With long strokes, apply a base coat, followed by surface coatings until the desired effect is achieved.
