Shape nails

Following steps should be taken to shape the nails well;

• Clip nails, preferably the nail should be soaked to prevent it from shipping.
• Once the nails get dry, file them into shape.
• A rounded or square shaped nail should be chosen for the nails.
• The coarse nails should be avoided to prevent them from chipping off easily.
• The top end of the nails should be smoothened and buffered to give them a smooth and polished look. Buffers from top most brands should be chosen to get the best results.

Soak away

This is the most relaxing part of manicure where you can dip in the hands in a bowl full of warm water. Also add some cleanser to the water such that you can have clean hands after the manicure. However make sure that over soaking is not done as it may damage skin and nails, so keep the time up to three minutes or less.

Apply cuticle remover

The thick skin around the nails will be removed in this process, using a cuticle remover is also the preferred thing to do. However make sure that the remover does not get settled on the cuticle for a long period of time as it may harm the skin.

Remove cuticles and callouses around the nail

Use the pushing tool, but don’t push it far as it may damage the nail growth or can hurt an individual. It is preferable that this step should be under done rather than over doing it, after the cuticle prevents the nail from any kind of bacteria or damage.

Moisturize

Massage the nail and hands with cream or oil such that the skin is fed with necessary items and it replenishes the skin. Such treatment gives a feel of spa to the individual.

Polish

Moisturizing the nails may make it difficult for you to apply the polish, so before applying use a cotton pad to wipe of the moisturizer from the nails. Once the cream has been removed apply a nail paint of your choice.
