Manicures and Pedicures

Say hello to summer. Now is the time to wear your hidden flip flops and show off those pretty feet that will make your partner sweep. However, if you think that your feet weren’t that pretty, there are ways on how you can do it by yourself. These tips can also be used for manicure.
What you need:

• Cuticle Oil / Cuticle Conditioner
• Fast Drying Base Coat
• Fast Drying Top Coat
• Buffer
• Emory Board (preferably large)
• Cuticle Stick

Before starting with anything, make sure that your nails are pretty clean. This will be helpful in maintaining your polish for a longer period of time. To have your nails of the same length, it is recommended that you use scissors instead of clippers. Clippers usually stress the nail, having the possibility of breakage or it being split. After the trimming, next will be the filing. Use emory style of nail file instead of metal ones. Be also sure to use a large one for it is easier to manage.

Try to maintain the square shape on your nails because rounded ones do not grow in a better appearance compared to those which are squared. Moreover, square shaped nails grow faster. Use the cuticle stick to shape your cuticles, some people does not have cuticle; therefore, they may skip this step. After pushing some cuticle, apply cuticle oil to maintain the natural appearance of your nails.
Use a brush to remove some leftover filling, preferably a make up brush. You could also wash your hands with soap and water to make sure that nothing is left and nothing will stand in the way when you apply your selected nail polish.

In applying your desired nail polish color, you should first buff the surface of your nail; then, put on one layer of base coat. Wait for at least a minute for the base coat to dry, afterwards put your desired color for about 3 coats or 2. Wait for a few minutes until it gets dry and put another base coat. This step is critical so make sure you do well. This will decide the final appearance if your manicure or pedicure.

Manicures and pedicures may sound a luxury but is in fact a necessity. You should take care of your mails because they are windows of your lifestyle. Having neat hands would mean how neat a person you are. This would not just benefit you but will satisfy you as well even in a little way.
