Achieving a salon-perfect manicure is easier than ever with the right tools and techniques. Creating your own home manicure kit is a great way to save money and get the same polished look without needing to leave your house.
First, gather your essentials: a nail file, a buffer, cuticle nippers, hand cream, and nail polish. If you want to go the extra mile, you can also include an exfoliating scrub, cuticle oil, and base and top coats.
Start by filing your nails into your desired shape and gently pushing back your cuticles with an orange stick. Next, use a buffer to smooth your nails and remove any ridges. Apply a pea-sized amount of hand cream to each hand and massage it in. This will keep your hands looking fresh and moisturized.
Once you are ready to polish your nails, apply a base coat to protect your nails from staining and to help the polish adhere better. Follow this with one or two coats of your desired nail color. Lastly, apply a top coat to lock in the color and add shine.
By investing in a home manicure kit and following these simple steps, you’ll soon be able to achieve that perfect, polished look without leaving your own home. Give it a try and show off your professionally looking nails.
