    By: Raquel M. Ortiz

    What a better place to have a manicure than in our home. Don’t know how to do it? Here we will be explaining how to do it yourself at home.

    You will need:

    • Nail Polish Remover
    • Warm Water
    • Nail Filer
    • Moisturize Soap
    • Towel
    • Nailbrush
    • Base coat
    • Olive Oil or Lemon Juice
    • Lotion
    • Nail Polish

    First you need to dip the cotton ball in the mail polish remover. Rub it for 8 seconds whether you have nail polish or not because it will remove any substance in the nail.

    Second, soak your hands in warm water for 10 minutes and use a moisturizing soap. If your hands are rough, use mild facial cleanser. When finished, pat your hands with a soft and dry towel.

    Cut you nails, file your nails form external corners to the tips. Soak your nails again for 10 minutes. You can use nailbrush for the cleaning of your nails. Massage your hands and cuticles. It is preferable that you massage them in a circular motion because it would increase the circulation of the blood. Clip off any nail hanging with the nail scissors.

    Apply the base coat, and then apply your nail polish. For the final touch apply the top coat.

  • 5 PASOS PARA MEJORES UÑAS EN EL 2015: Segunda Parte

    The-Blonds

    1. Resalta tu esmalte. Pruebe con una capa de base blanca. Va a hacer colores de esmalte más audaces se vean aún más vibrantes.

    2. Sécalas con aire frío. Se reduce el tiempo de secado. Usa un secador de pelo en temperatura fría.

    3. Hidrata tus cutículas: Mientras más suaves harán que cualquier manicura se vea mejor. Frota bálsamo labial o aceite de cutícula para hidratación instantánea.

    4. Protege las uñas en el trabajo. Si utilizas la computadora mucho, compra una cubierta de teclado en silicona suave para que no se quiebre tu esmalte.

    5. Saqua brillo con fieltro. Un fieltro cuadrado empapado con removedor de esmalte sacará mejor el brillo que una bola de algodón.

    1. Brighten your polish. Try a white base coat. It’ll make bold polish colors look even more vibrant.

    2. Dry with cold air. It reduces drying time. Use a hairdryer on the cool setting.

    3. Moisturize cuticles. Smooth ones make any mani look better. Rub on lip balm or cuticle oil for instant hydration.

    4. Protect nails at work. If you use a computer a lot, get a soft silicone keyboard cover so typing doesn’t chip your polish.

    5. Take off glitter with felt. A felt square soaked with polish remover grips glitter better than a cotton ball.
