1. Removal of old nail polish
2. Pushing back your cuticle
And after all that? I take a shower to make sure any residue is washed off! :) I also push back my cuticles gently while in the shower as the warm water softens them and makes it easier to push back.
3. Moisturising the cuticle
After my shower, I lather my cuticles with cuticle cream. Whilst my remover doesn't contain acetone, my nail plate still gets dry. I rub the cream into my cuticles, and any leftover onto my nail plate. I like to use my Burts Bees cuticle cream throughout the day as it leaves less oily residue. I take my Lemony Flutter out right before bed and apply it onto my cuticles and nail plate again.
4. Filing your nail
When I need to give my nails a trim, I use a glass file by Manicure. Make sure when you file you don't saw back and forth on your nail or you'll damage it! File in one direction until you reach your desired length. I prefer a more squoval shape so once I like my length, I round off my edges to ensure they don't get caught on things.
5. Go to town! It's time to polish your nails :D

ReplyDeleteLemony Flutter is AMAZING. I've been on prac the past few weeks - meaning lots of contact with water and washing hands - and it really has saved my cuticles from drying up.
ReplyDeleteIt is! :D Read the above comment and see how it saves your hands :P
