With the right nail manicure products, you may have a salon quality manicure right in the peace of your own residence. Doing your own nails can save a substantial amount of money. Also, you do not have to stress about making appointments or trudging across the city to the manicurist. When you do your own manicures, you can do them if you feel like it instead of being in the power of your local nail salon. The process of caring for your fingernails can be shared with other women in your life and used as a fun bonding experience. After all, I’m sure you’ve gossiped with a girlfriend while painting your nails, right? It’s a fun way to spend time with your best friend, mother, daughter or sister. There are even slumber party kits which contain all the supplies you need for group manicures.
If you are doing your nails on your own, you may definitely require some supplies. First, make sure you have a good remover. You can choose from acetone or non-acetone. Acetone remover is best for natural nails. It whisks off old polish in a flash, but smells hideous. Non acetone remover is more mild and acceptable for acrylic nails or delicate natural nails. It’s a bit milder than the acetone remover. Instead of purchasing your remover in spillable bottles, try the nail polish remover jars that contain a saturated sponge. You simply insert your finger into the hole in the sponge, twist, and the polish is removed quickly and easily!
You may also need some sort of cuticle moisturizer to nourish ragged cuticles. Solar Oil is a favored moisturizer which can be applied before and after polish. If you apply it before polish, swipe each nail with remover before painting to remove excess oil. After massaging the cuticles, you should push them back with an orangewood stick wrapped in cotton. In contrast to popular belief, you do not want to chop the cuticles as that causes raggedness and ripping.
To shape the nails, an emery board is needed. File in one direction only to avoid ragged tears on the nail tip. The classic shape for nails is oval, but many women like square shaped nails. If you are unsure, try the constantly popular squoval shape which is a square shape which incorporates delicately rounded edges.
Nail polish is certainly the most vital of the nail manicure products. Choose a base coat with hardener to keep nails strong and prevent yellowing from colored enamel. After applying your base coat, it is important to let it dry before applying color. If you’re in a hurry, try one of the new fast-dry colored polishes like L’Oreal Jet Set or Maybelline Express Finish. You’ll also need a clear top coat to protect your polish from chipping and impart a dazzling shine. Today’s clear top coats come in fast dry varieties and extend the life of your manicure, often for so long as a week!
