1. Soak hands in warm water for one to two minutes. Add essential oil for extra-moisturizing properties.
2. Dry hands, and file nails in one direction, using short strokes. Shape your nail according to the natural
shape of your cuticle.
3. Use an orange stick to gently push back cuticles. Never cut them. Simply use a cuticle nipper to whisk away parts of the cuticle that are splitting.
4. Apply a basecoat and then two coats of colour. Finish with a topcoat.
Tip: Make a manicure last by applying topcoat every two or three days, and moisturizing daily with cuticle oil.
