Beautiful Nails



A perfect manicure and pedicure
can cost a lot of money. And let's face it:
not a lot of people can afford to get their toes
and nails done every other week. So what
do you do? You do it yourself!

Beautiful nails are easy to achieve if you know how.
First off, remove all nail polish from your finger and
toe nails. Clip and file your toe nails. Make sure you
cut straight across so that you don't get them
ingrown. File around the sharp edges.

Get a bowl a fill it with warm water. You will
soak your feet in there. You can add sea salt,
calming lotions, or anything you want to make
it more relaxing. Do this for about 20 minutes.

While your feet are soaking, file your finger nails
to the shape that you want. You can make them
round, square, whatever your pleasure! Grab some
cuticle oil from the drug store. Massage it into
each of your fingernails and then push the cuticles
back with a cuticle pusher. If you have any
hang nails clip them off.

After your feet have finished soaking, rub cuticle oil
into your toe nails. You're this close to having beautiful
nails ladies! Dip your foot file in the water and with the
rough side, scrub until all the dead skin is off. Using the
soft side, polish off whatever is left. Again, with your
cuticle pusher, push back the cuticles on your toes. Anything
left over, clip them off.

For beautiful nails, get some exfoliator and rub your feet
with it for a good five minutes. Place your feet back into
the water and exfoliate your hands and nails. After you have
finished, you can rinse both feet and hands. Dry well!

Next, apply moisturizer to your feet and hands. Make sure
you rub it in good and go all the way up to your elbows and
knees. Now use a nail polish remover to remove all the oil
from your nails. Start by applying a base coat to each one
of your nails and toes. Apply two coats of nail polish
and finish off with a clear top coat. Sit back and relax for
20 minutes. Do this once a week and you're on your
way to having exquisite, beautiful nails!
