Manicures are always fun & look so elegant. Yet, who has time to keep going to the salon? Try your own manicure at home with these simple steps. (:



1.Soak your hands for 2-3 minutes in warm soapy water. Keep a washcloth near by the sink to dry hands after.





2.Wash your hands with a softening hand soap. I use Mary Kay's Satin Hands Satin Smoothie Hand Scrub in Vanilla Sugar
.



3. Soften your hands with Lush's Handy Gurugu Hand Cream







4. Remove any old polish still remaining on your nail.





5. Clip & file your nails. I use a Revlon nail clipper and file.



6. Apply a cuticle oil or cream to your cuticles.



7. Apply a base coat and let it dry. (I couldn't find my base coat to take a picture of. :( ) I used Sally Hansen's Insta-Grip Fast Dry Base Coat.


8. Apply a nail polish of your choice. I used OPI's Barefoot in Barcelona, a beautiful nude, pinkish color.



9. Apply a top coat to keep your nail polish on longer.





10. Decorate your nails in any way you want. Glitter, stickers, & gems look so cute on nails. (: Finish off with another coat of top coat.






Hope you liked it(:
