Nail Manicure Tips Printed From: HairBoutique.com Category: Beauty Talk Forum Name: Nails Forum Description: Dig your claws into the latest tips & techniques for your nails URL: https://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=66255 Printed Date: January 02 2025 at 8:33am Topic: Nail Manicure Tips Posted By: chinni.sohi Subject: Nail Manicure Tips Date Posted: May 18 2010 at 1:20pm A weekly manicure can do wonders for your nails and cuticles. Not only will a weekly manicure promote faster nail growth, your nails will also become stronger with each manicure. Treat yourself and have a manicure professional done. The usual cost ranges from $10 upwards to $20, plus the manicurists' tip and the appointment lasts about 30-45 minutes with drying time. If going to the nail salon is not an option, opt to give yourself  a manicure at home. Do it yourself  Manicures, not only make your hands look great, they're easy to do! 1. Remove any old nail polish. 2. Shape the nail, using a file or emery board. File each nail tip from corner to center; do not file in a see-saw motion with the emery board because doing so can cause ridges in the nail and nail splitting. By filing nails to a point...this will make nails weak. A rounded or square form is the strongest. 3. Soak the hands in warm, soapy water for a few minutes to remove dirt. This will also soften cuticles and make it easier to push cuticles back. Clean under free edge of nail with orangewood stick. 4. The cuticle is the skin that grows from the finger onto the base of the nail (nail root). Push the cuticle gently back. Leaving the cuticle intact helps to prevent infection of the nail growing tissue. NEVER cut cuticles! This can cause the nail to die if done improperly! http://www.jewishdatingauthority.com - Jewish Dating Websites http://www.vivaphotography.com.au/photography/portraits/default.aspx - portrait photography Replies: Posted By: Deloris1 Date Posted: July 29 2010 at 4:31am Thanks for sharing information and tips for "Nail Manicure Tips".

Dry your nails well and buff them to give a smooth edge with an emery board. Apply base coat and nail polish with long strokes and remove any excess polish remaining on cuticles or the sides of the nails with a cotton-tipped orangewood stick, followed by the final coat.

On the other hand, implies a pedicure soak your feet, applying lotion, filing, shaping of toenails and applying nail polish. Nevertheless, it is recommended for a visit to a beauty supply or pharmacy to get the necessary equipment. ------------- http://www.1ppi.co.uk/ - PPI Posted By: jennysteven Date Posted: February 02 2011 at 9:08pm Never use a tissue to remove the old varnish unless you want small pieces of fabric ruin the appearance of the hands. A cotton ball will do much more better.A base layer is recommended, especially if you opt for darker shades, which over time can discolor nails. Then apply two coats of color, followed by a finish coat. ------------- Posted By: danielalvis Date Posted: January 19 2012 at 12:18am Doing an at-home manicure instead allows you to paint your nails at your own pace and use your creativity over and over again. If having a French manicure, the tips of nail are painted white and when dry the entire nail is painted with translucent shell pink polish. ------------- Posted By: shinning_likeme Date Posted: December 30 2013 at 6:46am Hey Chunni, thank you so much I am surely waiting for this stepss to take care of my nails.
