How to achieve a beautiful manicure at home?

It is quite possible to do your own manicure. To protect our nails, we embark on a five-step treatment:

If the nails are varnished, take the time to remove it with a mild nail polish remover.
We file (or cut) our nails to shape them according to the desired form (square, rounded, or both...), but also to prevent them from splitting.
In a solution based on repairing and moisturising oil, dip your fingertips to soften the cuticles before pushing them back with a boxwood stick.
The surface of the nails is smoothed with a polisher to make them shine and facilitate the application of nail polish.
A base coat is applied to protect and strengthen the nails.

How to 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 for 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 centre of the nail and work outwards. Wait 2 to 3 minutes before applying the second coat, then let it dry for a few minutes. (If you use a semi-permanent nail polish, don't wait because after 60 seconds under the UV lamps, your nail polish is already dry)
To enhance the nail polish, apply a top coat on the coloured nail polish right after application. For even more hold and shine, repeat this operation 3 days after the first application.
