QUICK TIPS FOR THE BRIDE’S PERFECT MANICURE:
During the months leading up to your wedding, you have so many places to go and things to do. Staying perfectly groomed has never been more important, but never so difficult to achieve, because you’re busy, busy, busy. Scheduling an hour for a manicure plus travel time doesn’t always fit the time available.
Below are our tips for you to maintain your beautiful hands. Following our manicure procedure should take approximately 20 minutes weekly and will keep your hands and nails show off perfect. You’ll never hesitate when asked to show that engagement ring, wondering if your hands are show worthy.
At Home Manicure:
Remove polish and trim – Apply non-acetone polish remover to a cotton ball. Wipe your nail several times from base outward toward the tip to remove all the old polish. Use an orangewood stick and cotton ball to remove old polish from crevices. Trim nails with clipper, as needed.
File & Shape – File with a fine, smooth file from the side toward the center, never back and forth in two directions (that makes the nail weak). Use a buffer to flatten any ridges and smooth out areas.
Soak – Use a mild liquid soap in warm water. Fill a small bowl and soak for around four minutes. This will loosen any remaining dirt or polish remover. Don’t overdo the soak however; this can weaken your nails.
Soften Cuticles – massage cuticle cream into your cuticles and soak for three minutes. Now your cuticles are soft enough to push back without damage. Use a cuticle pusher to move cuticles and wipe your nail with a clean towel.
Trim Cuticles – trim any hard hangnails with a sharp clipper, being careful not to damage any healthy tissue.
Polish – Apply polish remover one final time. Apply base coat to help polish last longer. Dry base coat, then apply two coats of polish. Stroke down the center of the nail and then stroke once on each side. Finish with a topcoat.
Reapply topcoat every other day to make it last.
