To manicure first remove the old nail polish. Then wash your hands and dry them with a clean towel. Now trim your fingernails and shape them as desirable with a nail file. Start filing from the outer edge of the nail and then move towards the center. Now you need to soak you hands in warm water. Use a cream and cuticle remover to remove the cuticles. Now polish the fingernails with a beautiful shade that suits you. You can finish the manicure with a good hand massage. Apply hand lotion and get your arms and underarm waxed to flaunt those beautiful hands.

That's pretty much the steps I follow when I do my manicure, except for soaking my hands in warm water. Somehow, I don't find that necessary, I just get my hands and nails clean and then apply nail polish. I usually do 2-3 coats, how about you?

I just do two coats of clear nail varnish on my nails, I'm not too fond of colour. Being busy with the children means they chip easily.

Is it also true that you should file your nails in just one direction?

Nice I usually don't put coatings in my manicure I guess that's why it breaks all the time. I was thinking about making 2 coats now with a colorless manicure at the top.

I have read that it is the "proper" way to file your names, especially recommended if your nails are weak and tend to break. I used to make sure I always file in just one direction, but then after I strengthened my nails with the help of some good polishes, I began to neglect that rule.

Generally I used to soak my fingers in warm water with little drops of lemon juice .And after that i ended them by scrubbing with a scrub .I never knew that cuticle remover has to be used . By the way can you explain me what is it and how to apply it?
