Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Fill a bowl with warm water and add the gentle soap or hand wash. Stir gently to create a soapy solution.

  2. 2

    Soak your hands in the warm water for about 5-10 minutes to soften your skin and cuticles.

Nail Care

  1. 3

    Remove your hands from the water and pat them dry with a towel.

  2. 4

    Using the nail clippers, trim your nails to your desired length, being careful not to cut too close to the skin.

  3. 5

    Gently push back your cuticles using the cuticle pusher. Be careful not to damage the skin around your nails.

  4. 6

    Apply cuticle oil to each nail and massage it into the cuticles to nourish and hydrate them.

  5. 7

    Use the nail buffer to gently buff the surface of your nails to a natural shine. Use light pressure to avoid damaging the nails.

Moisturizing

  1. 8

    Apply the hand cream or lotion onto your hands and massage it in thoroughly, paying special attention to the areas around the nails and cuticles.

  2. 9

    Allow the cream or lotion to absorb into your skin for a few minutes before engaging in any activities.
