💅Nail Care💅

Now. I don't do my nails often. Most the time you'll see me slap on a clear coat and call it a day. You'll never see me with acrylics. But i do take care of my nails. Even if its not $40 worth.

||PEDICURE||

🍋Soak feet in warm water for 10 minutes

- you can add oils, soap, rose petals. Whatever floats your boat. :P

🍋Use an exfoilator to get all the dead skin away from your feet. Then rubbing it in to really make sure

🍋Use a pumice after washing off the exfoliator to ensure the dead skin is completely off. Really get the back of your heel and the side of your big toe.

🍋Soak your feet once more and then dry.

🍋Cut your nails to desired shape. I prefer like many to have them short because they are comfortable but do what you want.

🍋File your nails so they are completely even and to desired shape.

🍋Use some warm water over your cuticles and push them back carefully with a tool. (NOT YOUR FINGERS PLEASE)

🍋Buff your nails if wanted

🍋Paint your nails however you want!

🍋Lather your feet in some thick lotion and put socks on

||MANICURE||

🍉Soak your fingers in warm water for 5-10 minutes

🍉While they are still wet, push back your cuticles then dry your nails.

🍉Trim your nails to desired shape, file and then buff (be careful when buffing to avoid going overboard)

🍉Apply a base coat or nail hardener

🍉Paint nails desired color. These are some colors i like!

-clear, glittery polish
- burgundy
-red
-white (matte)
-yellow
-pearl
-gold
-mint (sometimes)

RANDOM THING: use glittery clear coat when swimming to avoid chipping. Then apply a top coat or 2.
