Thanks in advance.What is the best method for a manicure at home?
Make your hands and feet feel fabulous .





Fill a large metal basin with very warm water adding a capful of your favourite cleanser or bubble bath. You can also add 5-6 drops of essential oil (diluted in a couple of teaspoonfuls of vegetable oil, honey, or cider vinegar). Try camomile, which helps ease aches and pains or rosemary which promotes circulation. Then, soak your feet or hands in the basin for 20 minutes. Remove and pat dry.


You can try a sea salt rub ( infused with essentail oils) to exfoliate, rinse, leaving some essentail oils to soak in. wrap hands or feet in a warm towel and rest 5 minutes.


and then


File and buff fingernails. For feet, exfoliate by using a pumice stone to slough off any rough skin. Cut toenails (straight across to prevent ingrown toenails) and file with an emery board.


Ease into cuticle care by applying good old olive oil to soften cuticles. Be gentle when pushing cuticles back 鈥?the skin is very tender. And don鈥檛 cut your cuticles!


To moisturize and lock in softness 鈥?massage a good, thick moisturizing cream onto feet and/or hands, wrap with saran wrap and put on some socks and/or mitts to seal in the benefits (the warmth created from insulating your hands and feet helps to penetrate the moisture deep into your skin). After about ten minutes, remove the layers and rub in remaining lotion.





Do a final buff, apply polish (or for natural nail shine 鈥?rub petroleum jelly onto nails) and you鈥檙e ready to go.

I sometimes use a loofa or soft-bristled brush with some shower gel or bubble bath.


If you want your nails to have small details, take cotton off the end of a q-tip and dip it in the polish. Or you can use Stripe brand nail polish(comes in a tall square cylinder bottle with a very thin brush)

Go to Sally's beauty supply store and they'll put a few items together for you. Things like hardening polish, quick dry polish glaze and the clippers and cuticle removers and great files.


I love saving money when I do mine at home.
To exfoliate, make sure your hands are dry and rub sugar all over your hands then place your hands under warm water and dry off with a towel,for a manicure at home run warm water into a bowl that obtains hand soap,place your fingers into the warm water for approx 15 min, take hands out and start pushing your cuticles back with an orange wood stick,next clip any excess cuticle you want to get rid of,next file your nails to the shape and length you want,use a nail buffer to smooth out your nails.To help soften cuticles you c use ordinary olive oil,it sounds wierd but it actually works. I am not into using mary kay cosmetics but the line does have a product called satin hands that is wonderful. Good Luck.
