Let's get started,

Step 1: Clean your nails with polish remover

Take a cotton ball or cotton pad and dip that in nail polish remover and hold that on each nail and allow the paint to break down before you start swiping for the smooth finish at the end. And if you see any stains or yellow tinges take some cuticle oil and rub over it to lighten it's residue. It is normally seen when removing darker colors.

step 2: Soak your hands and nails

 For the best experience, have a good ambiance around you. And then, take a bowl and now fill it with warm water, a liberal scoop of skin-soothing bath salts, and some aromatic perfume and then soak your hands. It softens tough skin and cuticles and gives you relaxation. Leave your hands for a few minutes and then let's move to the next step.

step 3: Push back your cuticles

Prep cuticles with cuticle remover—make sure it's not an oil or a balm—to help dissolve dead skin and soften the area. Contrary to popular belief, cuticle oils and cuticle removers are not one and the same, nor can they be used interchangeably. Oils help moisturize, while removers act like an exfoliating treatment for your nail beds. Then push back gently with a cuticle stick. Your cuticles protect your nails from bacteria and keep them soft, so avoid cutting them.

step 4: Exfoliate your hands

Exfoliate hands, wrists, and forearms with a scrub that eliminates dead skin cells and replenishes moisture (try this one from SheaMoisture). Grab your orange stick again to gently clean any grime from under nails. Wash hands afterward and dry them thoroughly.

step 5: Trim and shape your nails

 Take a nail clipper and trim and cut your nails. Don't worry about getting edges perfect. We will take care of that in our next step. So just whip your toenails into shape.  Now that your nails are at a perfect length, it's time to smooth them out. Pick up a nail file and shape the corners and edges. There's no need to rush during this step—take your time filing until all of your nails are even.

step 6: Add some cuticle oil

 By doing this it'll show a major difference in the shine, health, and overall strength of your nails. cuticles have more importance in your nail health. they protect nails from bacteria. So be careful and gentle

step 7: Massage hands with a hand cream

With a lotion or hand cream, massage your hands for some time so that your hands get enough nourishment and hydration 

step 8: Apply a layer of base coat

                Since the base coat acts as a barrier between the natural oils that come from your nails and your actual polish, it's super important to swipe it on if you want your pedicure to last.

step 9: Paint your nails

                Apply two thin coats of your color of choice, and let the paint dry for a few minutes between each coat. And you can do nail arts as your wish as well.

step 10: Finish with topcoat

 A layer on a topcoat is to seal in the nail polish for longer days. So don't skip this step. You'll have lovely nails with a super shiny and long-lasting finish.

                 So it gives the best salon at home experience and makes sure you do manicures frequently for the best skin and hand nails.
