How to give yourself a good manicure
1. Remove old nail polish thoroughly.
2. Soak hands in warm water for 10 or 15 minutes. Dry hands.
3. File nails in one direction only. Avoid using a see-saw motion.
4. Push back cuticles. Use a cuticle moisturiser if they do not
push back easily after soaking.
5. Massage your hands. Use a moisturising lotion. Use an exfoliating
lotion if your skin is dry and/or roughened.
6. Apply a base coat. Allow it to dry.
7. Apply polish. Clean any stray marks with a cotton swab dipped
in polish remover.
8. Add a second coat for deeper colour.
9. Finish the manicure with a top coat of clear polish.
