Going to get your nails done isn’t cheap. Especially for something that you can simply do at home without emptying your wallet! Maybe your painting skills aren’t the best, but there are a few things you can do to help improve your home-manicure results for a salon finish!

To start off, make sure your nails are clean of any old nail polish, dirt, etc. Put some rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and wipe your nails to ensure they’re 100% clean. After that, push your cuticles down as far as you can so your polish will stay on longer. It doesn’t matter what you use to do this. Simply using your other nails to push down the cuticles works just fine!

Now comes the fun part. Pick out whatever polishes you want to use on your nails. You can either paint them yourself or, if you’re not the best nail artist, have your mom or friend do them for you!

A manicure wouldn’t be complete without a fun design or pattern. One of my favorites is the design on the left. You can choose any three colors and go to town! Whatever the lightest polish of the three is, paint your entire nail that color. Then wait until your nails completely dry (I suggest putting them in front of a fan to speed up the process if you’re in a time crunch). After your polish is entirely dry, place a piece of scotch tape crooked on your nail, whatever way you want the diagonal to go. Then paint a couple coats of the darker color on top of the lighter polish that isn’t covered by the type.  Then repeat the process with the darkest color.  Finish it off with a topcoat and you’re set!

Now you can be a pro manicurist right in your home :)! Enjoy!
