🛠️ DIY Manicure Steps

1. Remove Old Polish:
   Use an acetone-free nail polish remover to avoid drying out your nails.

2. Soak & Soften:
   Soak your hands in warm, soapy water for 5 to 10 minutes. You can add a drop of essential oil for a spa-like touch.

3. Shape Your Nails:
   Clip and file your nails into your preferred shape – oval, round, square, or almond.

4. Push Back Cuticles:
   Gently push back cuticles with a wooden stick or cuticle pusher (avoid cutting them!).

5. Buff the Surface:
   Smooth the nail surface with a buffer block for a healthy, shiny finish.

6. Moisturize:
   Apply a nourishing hand cream or cuticle oil to hydrate and protect.

7. Apply Base Coat:
   This helps your polish last longer and protects the nails from staining.

8. Polish Time:
   Apply 2 thin coats of your favorite color, letting each dry before the next.

9. Top Coat:
   Seal the deal with a shiny or matte top coat for a salon-finish look.

🎨 Easy Nail Design Ideas (Beginner-Friendly)

• Polka Dots: Use a bobby pin or toothpick to dot on a second color.

• Accent Nail: Paint one nail on each hand with glitter or a different shade.

• French Tips with a Twist: Try a metallic or pastel instead of white.

• Stripes or Waves: Use striping tape or a nail art brush for fun lines.

• Sticker Magic: Add nail stickers or decals for a quick design upgrade.

💡 Tips for Healthy Nails

• Avoid biting or picking.

• Wear gloves when cleaning.

• Let nails “breathe” between polish applications.

• Take biotin or collagen supplements if your nails are weak or brittle.
