Do it yourself Manicure ...

You are Welcome Laasya ... Regards, Suni ...

Those little sets do work, but getting the white paint on evenly over the tip of your nail is hard... most beauty salons sell little stickers, shaped like half-moons, so that you can put them right where the white tip of your nail starts, then the white nail polish goes on easier. Start with clean, dry nails, then do do coats of the light pink or beige polish. When that is completely dry, carefully apply the white polish to the tips. If the base coat is really light, you can apply a third layer, even over the white tips, this makes it look more natural. Then apply the topcoat, for shine and protection. A much quicker fix is to buy a nail whitening pencil. They look like white eyeliners, and you just quickly rub them under your nail. It makes the white tips look so much brighter, and it only takes a few seconds. It looks very natural, and you can reapply as often as you nned to.

Dear Vidhya,

You are welcome dear ... Please find below my attachment for pedicure to be done at home friend ...

You will need: 25 mintues
1. A nail file of high quality
2. A feet file
3. A plastic or glass bowl big enough for a foot bath with warm water
4. Cotton balls
5. 2 tablespoons of sugar
6. 5 table spoon of oil, and optional 3 drops of essential oil or lemon juice.
7. A orange stick
8. Nail polish remover
9. 2 fluffy towels and a 2 small towels
10.Optional: nail polish of your preferred color and color base if you are using a strong color (this will take additional time)
11. hand or body lotion and oil (it can be body oil or a light vegetable oil such as olive or sunflower)
12. A nail cutter

Steps

1- Identify a good place to get your pedicure; it has to have a a comfortable chair. Place all the ingredients and tools next to it. Place one of the towels on the floor

2- Mix 5 tablespoons of oil, essential oil or lemon juice and sugar

3- Prepare the foot bath with warm water, 4 tablespoons of oil. Place on the towel (the one you have put on the floor)

4- Wet the 2 small towels and put in the microwave so they get hot, then place them in a plastic bag for future use.

5- Pedicure time. Eliminate any nail polish you may have

6- Cut your nails and file them to your desire shape

7- Put your feet into the water and let them be there for 10 minutes (at least 5 minutes if you do not have time)

8- Now push your cuticles with the orange stick

9- Apply the scrub on your feet. Make sure every area is treated.

10- Wash it out with the foot bath water, dry the feet and move the foot bath to the side.

11- Gently apply some oil or cream to the nail and massage the cuticles

12- Wrap the towel around your hands and leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes or until they are not warm any more.

13- Get your feet file and pass it on the rough areas. If you are not applying polish, you are done; if not

14- Apply the base coat (transparent nail polish) wait for a minute or 2 and apply one coat of you color, wait 3 minutes and apply second coat.

Keep an extra foot file in the shower can help erase calluses from the bottom of the feet. Just do a quick scrub while taking a shower and never be embarrassed by rough soles again.

Hope this helps you dear ... ...
