It is a beauty treatment to beautify the nails, but also the hands! And to help you, here is a little easy manicure tutorial in 8 steps.

Step 1: Remove the old varnish

First of all, pour a few drops of nail polish remover on a wipe that you leave on your nails for a few minutes, then you can slide them and remove the rest of the varnish on your nails.

Step 2: File the nails

After washing your hands, determine the length and the shapes of the nails you prefer for you. Once the shape has been chosen, file in the same direction, without going back and forth.

Step 3: Soften cuticles

Now it’s time to soak your fingers in lukewarm water for 5-10 minutes. Then, use a cuticle pusher to gently push them back and peel off the small skins on the surface of the nail.

Step 4: Clean the nails

Now you can take a small wooden stick that you gently slide under each of your nails to clean them. This is mainly to remove dirt and other small dust.

Step 5: Polish the nail

Then, take a polisher and polish your nails, 10 min per side, to make them smoother and shiny. This also helps to activate blood circulation and facilitate the application of varnish.

Step 6: Apply base

Now that you have chosen your manicure model, it is time to apply the base. Important step, because it allows both to protect the nail and that it does not discolor, and, at the same time, to make the varnish last longer.

Step 7: Apply polish

Then comes the time to apply the varnish. Depending on the varnishes, several coats are necessary. First apply a first thin coat, then a second thicker one, leaving 10 minutes to dry between each coat.

Step 8: Apply a top coat

Your nail polish applied, it must then be protected. To do this, apply your top coat which allows the varnish to shine while improving its hold.
