STEPS
TOOLS
For this tutorial, you will need: a small bowl, hand/body cream, toothpicks, cotton balls, a nail file, cuticle nippers, cuticle remover/softener, cuticle stick, nail polish remover and a towel. 😃😉
Remove any nail polish off, and begin by filing your nails. Try not to file back and forth, as this will damage your nails. Instead, get into the habit of filing in a sweeping motion. 👍
After you have filed your nails, apply your cuticle treatment onto your cuticles. ✨
Fill your small bowl with warm, soapy water, and soak your hands for about 3-4 minutes to soften the cuticles and clean your nails. 💅
After you've soaked your fingernails, PAT your hands dry with the towel. Using a cotton ball, roll some cotton around the cuticle stick. 😊
Push your cuticles in with a circular motion using the cotton-wrapped cuticle stick. The cotton will remove any dirt under the cuticles as you push them in.
Remove the cuticles with the cuticle nipper. ✨
Remove any dirt underneath the nail with a toothpick. ✨
Finally, cream your hands and massage it into the skin and fingers. 😃
Voila! Pampered hands, squeaky clean fingers and neat nails that'll last you up to a week! 💅 If you want, you can finish with a topcoat or polish of your choice, but remember to apply a basecoat!😊❤
