Do a homemade manicure: the steps
Clean your nails
The first step is to start again with a healthy and virgin base. So, carefully clean your nails with nail polish remover.

Nourish your cuticles
To avoid infections, it is important to take care of your cuticles. Remember to massage your cuticles with a nourishing oil like sweet almond, or to dip your fingers in hot water for a few minutes and apply a cream as usual. When you nourish them frequently, your cuticles remain supple.
Choosing the shape of your nails
It’s time to start beautifying your manicure. To do this, take your nail file and file according to the shape and size you have chosen. Square, rounded, almond, it’s up to you to see the shape you prefer. Little pro tip: be sure to always go in the same direction and not to go back and forth which could split and weaken your nails.
Applying the varnish
Before varnishing your nails and so that the varnish adheres better, you can pass an alcohol cotton to remove all the grease or oil residue.
Then, apply the base, or the first layer of varnish. Usually transparent or neutral in color, it protects and prolongs the hold of the varnish. It is also useful to prevent your nails from yellowing after your manicure.
For the second layer of varnish, apply the color of your choice.
