Give Yourself a Manicure or Pedicure at Home - Tips 4 Your Life | انا مطور

Steps

Trim your nails, then file. If your nails are short or you want to grow them out, just file them. Don't be too rough; you don't want to break your nails or cause nail bruises (the little white dots you get on your nails when you injure them).Don't file your nails back and forth, it is not good for your nails.

Remove all nail polish. Make sure you get the polish on the sides and edges with a Q-tip.

Soak in warm water or milk for 5 minutes. Your whole hand doesn't need to be in the bowl, just your nails.

Remove your nails from the water or milk and dry them off. Rub them with a rich moisturizer, like Eucerin. Push back your cuticles gently with your fingernail or an orange stick.

Apply a nail polish color of your choice (before applying nail polish be sure that all lotion has been removed from your nail, or else the polish will not stick well). Then, apply a clear top coat for that extra shine and extra protection against chipping.

Tips

Don't clip your cuticles with nail clippers, it's best to push them back.
Beforehand, if you want to, you can rub some olive or vegetable oil into your cuticles to make them looser and easier to push back. Baby oil also works well and it smells good.

Warnings

If you do decide to use a nail salon instead of giving yourself a manicure or pedicure at home, here are some of the things you should look for when visiting a nail salon:
Use only accredited salons and technicians and look for certifications of competency, which should be displayed prominently in the salon.
The salon should be clean and tidy, with linen and towels changed between clients.
All chemicals should be in clearly marked containers.
Metal tools that could penetrate the skin should be sterilized in an autoclave.
Non-disposable nail implements should be rinsed, scrubbed in tepid water and detergent and dried, or wiped with 70% alcohol between clients.
Some nail salons keep implements especially set aside for each regular client. You should ask your nail technician to do this for you, if you are a regular client of a nail salon.
Nail implements need to be clean and dry. Don't let anyone use an implement on you that's been left sitting in water, even if the water contains disinfectant.
Don't use a foot spa if you've shaved your legs the night before or on the day of the pedicure, of if you have any cuts on your legs, as this makes you more vulnerable to infection.
If you are having acrylic nails put on, ask your nail artist to explain the procedure, what products they're going to use and how to care for the nails at home.
Don't be shy to ask questions about the manicure, the chemicals being used and how the implements have been cleaned.
