Start with clean nails

Use a nail clipper to trim your nails to your desired length, then use a nail file to shape them. File in one direction to prevent splitting.

Shape your nails

Fill a bowl with warm, soapy water and soak your hands for a few minutes. This will soften your cuticles and make them easier to push back.

Soak your hands

Gently push back your cuticles using a cuticle pusher or orangewood stick. Be careful not to cut them, as this can lead to infection.

Push back your cuticles

Use a gentle scrub to exfoliate your hands and nails, removing any dead skin cells and leaving your skin soft and smooth.

Exfoliate

Apply a rich hand cream or cuticle oil to hydrate your skin and nails. Massage it in thoroughly, paying special attention to your cuticles.

Moisturize

This helps protect your nails from staining and provides a smooth surface for your polish to adhere to.

Apply a base coat

Start with a thin coat of polish, applying it in three strokes (one down the middle, one on each side). Allow it to dry completely before applying a second coat.

Apply your polish

This will help seal in your polish and add shine. It also helps prevent chipping and extends the life of your manicure.
