Do your manicure from the comfort of your sofa! Armed with a few well-chosen utensils, you can give yourself a manicure in no time, as long as you know how to do it right... Finally, a manicure doesn't have to be colorful! If you simply want to protect and moisturize your nails, there are also perfect nail care products.

What is a manicure?

A manicure is a treatment designed to moisturize your hands and file your nails Once the treatment is complete, you can apply a "classic" or semi-permanent nail polish. By opting for one of the clean nail polishes available from Kure Bazaarbrand, nail polish application becomes an extension of the manicure, thanks to formulas that also care for your nails, without suffocating them. If you don't want to apply nail polish after your manicure, we recommend that you always finish witha dab of vegetable oil on your nails: this strengthens and waterproofs them to prevent breakage (e.g. when doing the dishes).

What tools are needed for a manicure?

For a manicure worthy of a beauty expert, equip yourself with the following manicure set:

A soft nail file (preferably cardboard)
A special cuticle lotion or a bowl of lukewarm water
A boxwood stick or cotton bud
A polishing block
A varnish base
A varnish
A top coat
cuticle oil

There are manicure kits including all these utensils, such as the Manicure Ritual Kure Bazaar.

How to achieve a beautiful manicure at home?

It's perfectly possible to do your own manicure. To protect our nails, we recommend a five-step treatment:

If nails are varnished, take the time to remove them with a mild mild nail polish remover.
We file (or cut) our nails to shape them to the desired form (square, rounded, or both...), but also to prevent them from splitting.
Dip fingertips into a repairing, moisturizing oil-based solution to soften cuticles before pushing them back with a boxwood stick.
A polisher is used to smooth the surface of the nails to make them shine and facilitate polish application.
Apply a base coat to protect and strengthen nails.

How do you protect and enhance your nails after a manicure?

To add a touch of pep to your nails, you can apply a nail polish in the shade of your choice. There are two types of nail polish: "classic" nail polish, which lasts a maximum of one week on the hands, and semi-permanent nail polish, which can last up to 3 weeks.

When applying, always start from the center of the nail and work outwards. Wait 2-3 minutes before applying the second coat, then leave to dry for a few minutes. (If you're using a semi-permanent varnish, don't wait: after 60 seconds under the UV lamps, your varnish is already dry).
To enhance the nail polish, apply a top coat to the colored nail polish immediately after application. For even more hold and shine, repeat this operation 3 days after the first application.
