We’ve all been online and seen the hundreds of pictures of girls with the perfect manicure, not an imperfection in sight. But we wanted every girl to pull off this style and with out step by step guide you can.
Cuticle Care
The first step to complete is cuticle care, ensuring that skin is removed to give you the flattest and neatest base for your manicure.
Start off with the Pushy & Nail Cleaner Tool from Tweezerman, a double ended tool with a cuticle pusher at one end and a cleaner at the other. Simply push your cuticles back and off your nail, then remove them with the cleaner. This pain free and effortless method means you get an even and neat tidy up of your nails every time.
To finish you should use a cuticle or or cream, this softens any skin left and nourishes your cuticles to leave them healthy again. Try this Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme that not only nourishes your fingers but leaves them smelling of juicy lemons.
Basic Steps
Clip – Making sure your nails are the perfect shape is essential before filing, this remove the excess nail and skin quickly without you having to sit there for hours filing. We recommend the Tweezerman Stork Scissors to get a precision cut and beautiful finish with every use.
File – With filing you always have to start with the roughest surface first and move onto a finer one after. The rougher surface sorts out any lumps and ridges you may have on your nails and the finer surface smooths and soften the nail ready for nail polish
Try the Jessica Professional Emery Boards to remove ridges and then move onto a glass file like the Nails Inc Glass Nail File to give you a smooth finish.
Base Coat – After filing it’s essential you apply a Base coat, this gives you a smooth and sleek start for your colour polish and ensure that your colour coat looks glossy and even. A favourite in the industry is the Nails Inc Kensington Caviar Base Coat, a nourishing nail polish that doesn’t allow the polish to stain or damage your nails.
Top Coat – This is the last stage to complete your manicure, simply apply a layer of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat to give your colour a protective layer from chipping as well as a glossy, high shine finish.
