Having a manicure is a great way to treat yourself and your nails. There’s the right way to manicure as well as the lazy way. To get your nails looking great, you should ensure you follow the professional manicure steps. There are no shortcuts when it comes to beauty and skincare. You have to follow the necessary steps to achieve the look you are going for.

 

How to do a professional manicure step by step

The first thing to do is to remove the old nail polish.

Never be tempted not to. The best way to remove your old polish is with a cotton pad soaked in nail polish remover. This works best when you hold the stacked cotton pad over the nail for a minute so it absorbs the polish before wiping it off. This also ensure you wipe off your nail polish neatly without it spilling over to the sides of the nail.

 

Apply Cuticle Cream

Once the old nail polish is off, you should apply cuticle cream. This does wonders for your nails, especially when you lay your hands on the right one.

 

Shape the Nails

You should shape the nails using a nail file. Only use a scissors if you want to really reduce the length of the nails. Best to share with a nail file from edge to centre at an angle. File the tip downwards by holding the nail file vertically.

Buff and Colour

A good buffing of the nails is your next step, then colour. A base coat, 2 coats of colour and a top coat work great if you have the time. Most times, I just buff and apply a clear polish, and I am good to go. It all depends on the look you are going for. Also, it is best to paint from bottom to top vertically and make sure you are using good quality nail polishes to achieve the desired results.

I am not a fan of the quick nail polish drying method, I like to put my foot up and do nothing for a few minutes after painting my nails. However, if I need to do something with my hands, I wait until my nails are touch dry and then I run a cold water tap over them for a few seconds. This method helps the nails dry a lot quicker.

Product Review – Just For Me Natural Hair Milk

June 15, 2019 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , 23 Comments

*Affiliate link.

In the pursuit of finding the right hair products for my natural hair and that of my daughter’s, I have come across so many haircare products. I recently came across Just For Me Natural Hair Milk by Soft & Beautiful. My hairstylist used it on my hair and I liked it. So I ordered one for myself and my daughter to share to see how we get on with it. We have used this hair product for over 2 weeks now on a daily basis, and we really like it. It is an amazing haircare product. I love what it does to our hair, especially my daughter’s hair. I don’t have to worry about our baby hair going astray now thanks to this amazing Just For Me Natural Hair Milk.

 

Product Description

Just For Me Natural Hair Milk is a smoothing edges crème. It is an alcohol-free formula that manipulates hair perfectly.

PROS
  1. This haircare product does what it says on the pack. It smoothes the hair edges and leaves it all shiny and smooth.
  2. It is alcohol free, which is great.
  3. This product works best for tight, curly or wavy hair.
  4. It does not leave the edges hard after application, which is amazing. I hate it when haircare products that are meant to smoothen the edges, dry them out.

 

CONS

None.

I can’t fault this product. It performs brilliantly and it is now one my favourite haircare products.
