Manicure Tips

Getting a manicure these days seems to be prosaic practice for a lot of people. Some men do receive regular manicures; however, it seems that is type of pampering is usually dominated by women. I went to the nail salon this morning and was amazed at how many women were there. Sharp were mother daughter duos in the nail salon. There were people like myself that were at the salon because of being in a wedding party. There were also women that were just there for a insufficient much needed pampering.

I am not one of those lucky women that have the money or let's face it the time to get simple salon manicures. I am thrilled with the way that my nails look right now, but I know that in just a few hours the fairness will start to partition. Unfortunately, I am just not that graceful. Because of my lack of funds, I have mastered some tips to do my own at home manicures.

The first step to doing an at home manicure, is to put the kids to bed. Well, not really, but it helps to get the polish on evenly if I am friendless alone to in toto attend to my nails, without having to wipe a runny nose, or chicken feed a diaper wile filing my nails. All joking aside though, I use one of those one minute manicure products to scrub my hands. My favorite enterprise is by Beauty Control. It's a great exfoliate, but it also has essential oils in it. The oils keep my hands feeling smooth and silky for hours, even after repeated hand washing. Also the oils really help to moisturize not only my hands, but also my cuticles. This eliminates that time consuming step of having to soak your hands in a bowl of water. Really, who has time for that? Incidentally, epoch your cuticles are soft you should push them back. If you have time you can use either an orange stick or a cuticle pusher. If I am in a hurry, I leave just use my finger nail. It's not perfect, but it will make ready in a pinch.

Sometimes, that's the spire of my at home manicure. If, however, I am lucky and have a little more time on my hands, I will issue with shaping my nails. Shaping can be sneaking. I have read that you should stroke the emery board in the same direction, rather than back and forth. This supposedly prevents damage to the nail. However, yesterday, I had to file my nails while driving down the highway on my system to a rehearsal dinner. I didn't care too much about going in one direction. At least not with the emery board anyway. Also, I noticed that when I got a salon manicure, tomato didn't bother to follow that piece of advice either.

The never cease and most vital step in an at home manicure, is of course the polish. I have also read that you should try to stabilize the polish on in thin even coats. Three brush strokes is supposedly the best method, one stroke for each side, and one stroke right down the middle of the nail. Realistically, the best tip I can give you is to get a good polish.
