Don’t you think, nails are the most beautiful parts of our hands? And taking care of them doesn’t mean splurging on an expensive manicure. You can do it at your home with the help of the right manicure set.

Now, I’m going to breaking down each step with the necessary tools, so that you can able to get a professional-looking manicure at home.

Let’s look at the steps to learn how to do a manicure at home.

Step 1

Always wash and clean your hand before starting off.

Soak your hand in lukewarm water, so that it can soften the cuticles and skin around the nail. You can add a few drops of your favorite essential oil in the water for extra relaxation.

Step 2

Now, use a fingernail brush to scrub under the nails. An old toothbrush can do the same but make sure its bristles are soft enough.

Step 3

Step 4

If your cuticle appears thick and hard, then use a cuticle trimmer to cut them. But be careful while trimming the skin.

Step 5

Now when you are done with cuticles, use a nail chopper to trim and shape your nail. It is a simple and safe tool that gives your nails the desired shape and length. You can also use the fingernail chopper to give nails tip the shape you want like oval, round or square.

Step 6

While filing nails always go in one direction like from edge toward the center of the nail. Using a back and forth motion while filing can split nails that you don’t want it to occur.

Now use a thicker emery board or nail buffer to buff the surface of the nails making it smoother. You can also try rectangular block buffers to polish and smoothing of nails.

Step 8

Wash your hand and pat dry. Now apply cuticle cream or oil over nails and give a gentle massage. Let it sit for some minutes then use a tissue to soak up the residue.

Step 9
