Now, let me share the manicure steps for you!
-
Prep Like a Pro
Start by removing any old nail polish with a gentle remover. Then wash your hands thoroughly and dry them off.
If you’ve ordered a manicure kit online, lay out your tools on a clean towel so everything is within reach. Trust us, it makes the whole process feel more organized (and spa-like).
-
Shape and Trim Your Nails
-
Use the nail clipper to trim your nails to your desired length.
-
Follow up with a nail file to shape them. Whether you prefer square, round, or almond tips, go in one direction to avoid splitting.
-
Use a buffer to smooth out the nail surface for a polished finish.
Your nail manicure kit is your best friend here. Take your time with shaping, this step sets the tone for the rest.
-
Tackle the Cuticles
Soften your cuticles by soaking your fingertips in warm water for a few minutes. Then:
-
Gently push back the cuticles using the cuticle pusher.
-
If needed, trim excess cuticle skin with the cutter—but go easy!
-
Apply cuticle oil to nourish and keep them soft.
Pro tip - Don’t skip this step. Healthy cuticles = healthy nail growth.
-
Buff and Cleanse
-
Buff the surface of each nail again to smooth out ridges.
-
Use the nail brush to clean under your nails and around the sides.
-
Wipe your hands with a damp towel or wash them again to remove dust and debris.
-
Hydrate and Moisturize
Massage a good hand cream into your hands and fingers. If your manicure kit came with one, even better! Hydrated hands make your nails look that much more polished.
6. Polish Time (Optional but Fun!)
If you want to take things up a notch -
-
Apply a base coat to protect your nails.
-
Follow with two thin layers of your favorite nail polish.
-
Finish with a top coat for shine and longer wear.
Let your nails dry completely before moving around too much—yes, we know it’s hard!
How Often Should You Use a Manicure Kit?
You don’t need to go full glam every week, but basic nail care should be a regular part of your self-care routine.
-
Weekly: File and moisturize.
-
Biweekly: Do a full manicure.
-
Monthly: Trim and treat cuticles.
Using your nail manicure kit consistently helps maintain nail health and keeps them looking their best.
