How to give yourself an expert nail care

  • Remove old polish using nail-polish remover and a paper towel or a cotton pad
  • File your nails while they're dry. You get a better shape before soaking
  • Soften nails and cuticles in a bowl of warm water mixed with cuticle oil, olive oil and body lotion. Rub cuticles with a warm, damp washcloth in the same gentle way
  • Wash away oil or lotion with soap and water, and dry nails thoroughly
  • Apply a basecoat
  • Remove polish the way they do at salons, in three strokes, from base to tip
  • Wait two minutes between each coat of color
  • Finish with a topcoat
