Manicure kits

Manicure kitsSo, the first you're going to need to do a manicure at home is a manicure kit. I have some suggestions for you, but basically - choose high quality products that you can use for years to come. This way the manicure at home will be a cheap manicure. Good manicure kits include handy and sharp scissors, nail clippers, cuticle cutter or pusher and nail file. I never use the metal nail file that's usually in manicure kits because the metal doesn't seal the surface of my tips and therefore leaves my nails exposed to water and other influences that make my nails crack. I tend to use high-quality glass nail files or Alessandro files - you choose your favourite. Also, I try not to use clippers and scissors because they make my nails break, but sometimes you just need them, and buying them in manicure kits is much cheaper.

French manicure set

French manicure kitThe second thing you'll need is for the French manicure, if you're planning on getting it at home. So, basically, what you'll need is a good nail file (maybe glass or diamond one that will last for years), white nail polish for the tips, shiny top coat nail polish and steady hands or nail tip stencils. Check out the offer if you want to buy online, French manicure set should last you quite some time, so no worries you're buying something for nothing. Anyway, the top coat nail polish is always useful for finger or toe nails, and the white nail polish looks fabulous on whole nails in the summer so you'll use these manicure products for each manicure at home

The spa treatment at home - cheap manicure

Spa treatment at home - cheap manicureThere are many treatments for manicure at home in the spa treatment way. The one thing that I promise works best is the paraffin bath - you have to warm the bath, put the paraffin wax in there and melt it, then put the hands in three or four times until they're soaked, and let them dry for a while - max 30 minutes, and then wash it all off. The skin on your hands will feel incredible, unbelievable, amazing and more - soft, tender, all you could wish for. Hand and nail spas are available also in other varieties, for most all you need is a smaller plastic basin and some warm water and there it is - spa treatment at home, a cheap manicure anytime! For an effective manicure at home soak your hand for at least 15 minutes but not more than 30 minutes, as that will make your hand all wrinkled and tender to the touch.

Natural nails %u2013 why not?

Natural nails - cheap manicureDo you want a manicure at home and keep your natural nails? The best, I totally agree with you! Here's how I suggest you do it:
-        Soak the hands for 15 minutes in a nice warm bath (like lavender or something that will calm down the hands and the soul).
-        Dry the hands, but not too much as you'll want to remove or push back the cuticle, be careful you don't hurt it, because the damage can be permanent.
-        Gently polish the finger nails so you get a fine surface, but don't take the top coat of your nail off because it will be more prone to damage.
-        It's always good to have a good top coat nail polish on so your natural nails don't get damaged by water influences so quickly.
-        After the nail polish dries, apply hand cream heftily on the hands and apply some cuticle oil on the cuticle - it will stop it from growing so fast.
