How to Get the Perfect Manicure

   Ever wonder how to get the perfect manicure? Still wondering how other woman do not have nail polish every where? After spending all that time getting your manicure just right for it to last only 3 days?

  Well I am here to help! I will show you what products to use and my little tricks on how to get a manicure to last 7-10 days! Follow along below. I have even given you step by step pictures. Remember if you have ay questions post them below in the comment area and I will be sure to answer them as soon as I can.


  Okay, let's get started! You will need the following items ~


                                                                    

 

 

1. Nail Polish Remover

2. A Paper Towel         

3. A Nail Filer              

4. Tape Of Any Kind  

5. A Pair Of Scissors   

6. Base Coat (any color, I chose Clear)

7. Your Favorite Nail Polish

(I chose Julep in Stella)

8. A Clear Top Coat     

 

 

Step One

Use the nail polish to remove all nail oils, and left behind polish.

 

 

Step Two

Use your opposite thumb nail and push your cuticles as far back as they can go.

 

 

Step Three

 

Use your nail file and gently file your nail to remove any excess nail oil.

 

 

Step Four

 

Use you scissors and cut your tape into 3 strips (you will need to do this for each finger)

 

 

Step Five

Place the three strips of tape around the three sides of your finger. Remember to get the tape as close to your nail as possible. Take the top piece of tape and cover your cuticle without touching your nail.

 

 

Step Six

 

Use you selected base coat and cover your entire nail. Allow your base coat to dry.

 

 

Step Seven

 

Once your base coat is dry apply you favorite nail polish. Use one to two coats for full coverage. Allow your polish to dry.

 

 

Step Eight

 

Once your polish is dry, apply your chosen top coat. allow it to dry before moving on to the next step.

 

 

Step Nine

 

Once your top coat is dry remove all of the tape from around your finger.

 

Once you have followed all steps you are finished! Remember to repeat all steps for each finger.

 

By using the fail file to remove the excess nail oil you are allowing the polish to stick to your nail for longer wear. By doing this one simple step you are allowing your polish to last 4 to 7 days longer than with out filing first. A good top coat will ensure less chips and longer wear. I suggest using Top Secret base coat and top coat. They work just like a gel top coat with out having to use a UV lamp.

 

Hope you have enjoyed the tutorial and you enjoy you fresh, last, longing manicure!
