Indulge in a pampering session with these seven fantastic DIY manicure techniques to glam up your nails just in time for Valentine's Day.
Before you start your at-home manicure, make sure you have all the necessary supplies. This includes a gentle nail polish remover, cotton pads, nail file, cuticle pusher, cuticle oil, hand cream, base coat, nail polish in your desired Valentine's Day colours, and a top coat.
Begin by soaking your hands in warm, soapy water for about 5-10 minutes. This helps to soften your cuticles and makes it easier to push them back.
Use a nail file to shape your nails to your preferred length and shape. Whether you like square, round, or almond-shaped nails, make sure they are all even.
Apply cuticle oil to your nails and use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles. This step helps to create a clean and polished look.
Treat your hands to some extra care by applying a generous amount of hand cream. Take the time to massage your hands and fingers, promoting relaxation and improving blood circulation.
Start with a clear base coat to protect your nails and help the colour adhere better. Once the base coat is dry, apply your chosen Valentine's Day nail polish colour.
Seal in your beautiful nail colour with a clear top coat. This not only adds shine but also protects your manicure, preventing chipping and extending its longevity.
