PERFECT MANI MANI ]h

HOW-TO:

1. SHAPE

Run a fine-grit emery board across your nails in a back-and forth motion. When they're evened out round the edges a bit to keep them from snagging.

2. PREP

Soak your nails in soapy water for five minutes to soften the cuticles. Then gently nudge them back with an orange stick. Don't have a cuticles pusher? Use a towel or washcloth.

3. POLISH

Apply a base coat to protect your nails then use two thin coats of the nail lacquer of your choice. Finish with a clear coat.
