How To...Have perfact nails

Well, it is that time again. It is Friday and Shit! I have a spot on my cheek and it hurts ='[

Anyway, you know how it goes. Here is my 3rd How To.. Tutorial.

How To Have Perfect Nails.

  1. Before you even start, make sure you have everything you need in order for you to have perfect nails. This includes; nail polish, nail scissors, cotton wool balls, nail polish remover, cuticle cream, hand and nail lotion and a good nail file.
  2. Remove any nail polish you may still have on your nails with the nail polish remover. Even if you don't have any nail polish left on your nails, do it anyway as it will clean them.
  3. Wash your hands in warm, soapy water and pat them dry. This will clean your hands (obviously!)
  4. So, now you have clean nails and clean hands. Next, get the pointed edge of the nail file and clean the insides of your nails. Dirty nails are actually very gross and disturbing. Plus all of that dirt that gets under your fingernails is germs, Ugh!
  5. Now, cut your fingernails short but not too short. File them off so they are either nice and rounded or nice and squared. This depends on the shape of your fingers to be honest so look at them and decide what will look best on you.
  6. Coat your finger nails in a clear nail polish and wait for them to dry. If you don't and you are using a dark colour on your nails, it will stain and leave your nails looking yellow. Doing this anyway, whether or not you are using a dark colour, will keep them healthy anyway.
  7. Once that is dry you can start with your colour you want to use for your nails. Always start from the middle and then do each side of your nail. This will keep it easier to do and you will be less likely to smudge.
  8. If you do smudge, wait until your nail polish is dry and then use a little bit of nail polish remover on a tiny bit of cotton wool. Being careful not to smudge it onto your nail otherwise all your hard work will be ruined and you will have to do it again.
  9. Once done, apply a second coat. It will darken it and make it look cute =P (Once again, if you smudge do the above step.)
  10. Finally you need to apply another coat of clear nail polish to make them shine and also make the nail polish last longer without chipping.
  11. Next, add a dab of cuticle cream to your cuticles as this will soften them up and they won't go hard and break off. (Looking after your cuticles is another story so don't ask.)
  12. Finally, apply some hand and nail lotion to your hands and nails (duh!) to keep them soft and smelling lovely.
  13. Make sure to keep applying the cuticle cream and lotions to your hands and cuticles everyday to make sure they stay soft.
  14. Once in a while, cut your nails back down to size to keep your hands well looked after.
It is a well known fact that drinking lot of water will keep your hands and nails healthy too. If you honestly want to keep your hands healthy, make sure to apply that lotion and drink lots and lots of water everyday.
