nail show-off

Nowadays as opposed to days gone, everybody wants to look good. That is why you will realize that people are endeavoring to have a manicure that will look and feel elegant. But one challenge about this is that when you add up the cost that you incur to have a manicure in the salon over the years is a considerable amount of money, bearing in mind the current economy.

When you have assembled all the required tools, the next step is to remove the previous nail polish. For the normal nail polish, it is recommended that you use a non-acetone nail polish but if yours is the type of nail polish that is stubborn and one that leaves some glitters, then use acetone polish remover. You can also remove instant polish remover if you so wish, but the main point here is to remove the previous polish before you begin the new process.

Trim and file your nails

If your nails have overgrown, you should get rid of them by the use of nail clippers. After that, you are to use your file to shape your nails into the perfect shape that you want. The shape can either be short and square or have smooth edges but they can also be the squared-off nails, but when it comes to this it depends on your preference.

Push back your cuticles

This is also an optional step, but if they are too out of control you will have to push them a little bit back so that your nails can have a uniform nail surface.

Scrub to remove dead skin

You can either use your hand or body scrub or maybe prepare a simple scrub by mixing olive oil and sugar. This will ensure that any dead skin is completely eliminated.
