Our hands are as obvious as any part of our body. Use them to emphasize points in a conversation and to do daily tasks, therefore we should look as well groomed as the rest of us.

A good manicure is important to our appearance. Whether or not we use polish, our nails should be conservative, healthy, and always well manicured. To keep our hands attractive give ourself a weekly manicure.

Set aside about a half hour and have the following items before you start: emery board, cuticle scissors, nail buffer, a bowl of warm water, polish remover, nail brush, orangewood stick, cotton balls, base coat or nail hardener, nail polish and top coat.


1. Remove old polish with a cotton ball dampened with nail polish remover. Press the cotton ball firmly to the nail and hold for a few seconds. Pull the cotton ball down the centre so the polish doesn’t smear on the skin around the nail. Use a clean cotton ball to remove any stubborn polish.

2. Holding it on a slant, use an emery board to shape nails. Use long strokes in one direction toward the centre of the nail (don’t go back and forth). Don’t file the nails away at the corners because it weakens the nails. Make the curve blunt and don’t file your nails into sharp points.

3. In a rotating motion use your thumb to massage cuticle cream into the rough skin at the sides and base of the nails.

4. Soak your nails in warm water for a few minutes to soften the cuticle. Clean your nails thoroughly using a nailbrush.

5. Wrap the end of the orangewood stick in cotton and apply cuticle remover to the blunt end. Use it to loosen dead skin from around the nails.

6. Use scissors on hangnails only. Never cut cuticles.

7. Make sure your nails are free from polish and are clean and dry. If you don’t wear polish, simply buff your nails lightly lengthwise from the base to the tip and you’re finished.

8. Wipe nails again with polish remover to make sure you get rid of any traces of oil moisture or soap.

9. For normal nails apply a clear base coat to the entire surface of each nail. If you have problem nails use nail hardener instead.

10. Apply nail polish using 3 strokes, one from the centre base to the tip and one on each side. Use only enough polish to do one nail at a time. Don’t redo while wet.

11. When the first coat is completely dry (about ten minutes) apply a second coat.

12. Finish with a coat of sealer for added protection and allow to dry for at least 30 minutes. Avoid contact with water until nails are completely dry.

Regards, Suni...

Smile 9 Easy Steps To Manicure

9 Easy Steps To Manicure:

First lay out everything you'll need,
- nail clipper,
- an emery board,
- a bowl of warm soapy water,
- cotton wool buds and hand cream.
  • Wash your hands thoroughly, using the same sort of soap that you would use on your face.
  • Use a nail brush to remove dirt from behind your nails.
  • Trim your nails to the required lenght cutting them in a slight curve.
  • You might want to file your nails gently with an emery board to get rid of the rough edges. always file in one direction only.
  • Soak your finger tips in the bowl of warm water for about 5 minutes. This will soften the skin and the cuticles.
  • Dry your hands well and rub in a little hand cream or moisturiser.
  • Gently push back the cuticle with a cotton wool bud.
  • Paint your nails.
  • Make sure to apply at least to coats of nail polish and a top coat of clear nail polish to give it more shine.
Enjoy your self given & low cost manicure!

Dear Sadhana,
Thank you for your reply. Its not compulsory to do manicure twice in a month. Whenever you feel that your nails are tired of using nail polishes , give them some time to breathe.
I used to follow that . Its not compulsory to paint your nails soon after manicure. You can apply it on the next day. So that our nails to get freedom
