Take a small smooth stick and push back your cuticles. Protect your nail by covering it with a little cotton wool. Push gently, and cuticle build-up will disappear, leaving you with a clean, clear nail. Tissue off any residue, your nails should already look more healthy. Remove any dead skin at the sides of your nails with a nail clipper. Massage and moisturize your hands with a good-quality hand cream. (If you have the artificial nails open the link at the end of this page). A good tips from the pros is to polish your nails with a buffer to smooth out any ridges, and make them shiny. Finally, use the end of your small stick to clean under your nails. Always, always protect your nails! Applying a strengthening base coat also prevents discoloration from strong colors. Gently brush it over the whole nail. Choose a base coat which suits your nails, nourishing, strengthening, whitening or anti-ridge. Brighten up the tips of your nails with a whitening pencil on the underside. With the right techniques, there's no need to be afraid of color! Go for bright red or any color that makes your outfit pop! Rest your elbow on the tabletop to keep it steady. Don't use too much color at a time. Start with a stroke of varnish down the center of the nail. Don't try to cover the whole nail, leave a little space down the side of each nail so that you don't get color all over your fingers! This also shapes your nails, making them look much slimmer. Even the pros make mistakes. Sort them out with a cotton bud dipped in nail varnish remover will do the job to avoid scraping it off. Finish with a protective top coat, to strengthen the varnish and keep it looking fresh for longer.
