A Simple To Do-Home Manicure:

Things You Require:
A small bowl of warm, soapy water.
A small hand towel.
A nail file.
Cotton wool.
Coconut oil
Nail polish remover
Nail Polish.

Manicure Steps:

1. Remove older nail polish and file your nails. Long nails suit people with long slim fingers, For short, sturdy singers, shape your nails in oval form. Length of nails should not be more than 1/16th of an inch past the fingertip.
2. Soak your hands in warm soapy water for 5 minutes. With your towel press back the cuticles gently. Being delicate they need moisturising. Wipe your nails again with nail polish remover to remove soap deposits.
3. Apply a base coat starting with the thumb. They are usually transparent nail polishes, which are strengthen your nails and help to prevent chemical products of the nail polish, to yellow your nails.
4. After base coat dries, apply nail polish. Allow the first coat to dry completely then apply a second coat. Use pink and pearlish shades for the day. Nail polish is best applied before you go to bed. It helps to reduce tension of bad hand days in the morning. Purple, violet and other dark shades should be used only if they suit your personality. Every lady has a mind of her own, so go ahead! After all no two individuals are the same.
5. When the polish is completely dry, massage hands with coconut oil/ Almond oil/ olive oil. Massage up to the wrist.

A manicure once a week keeps your hands maintained. Use natural products instead of expensive creams and moisturisers. A bit of milk cream or milk as a natural moisturiser do wonders to your skin. Add little bit of salt to it, which bleaches your hands naturally. Let natures goodies pamper you. Use gloves on your hands for washing, gardening, or any work which requires rough handling. If you feel too tired oiling your hands well, with coconut oil, or milk, and then wash up. For gardening, place little soap pieces under your nails. This prevents dirt from getting caught between fingertips and nails. Always wash hands with luke warm water or room temperature water. In the winters wash your face and hands in cold water, to keep the naturally moisture in. But apply oil/cream after every wash.

Exercise For The Fingers And The Wrist:
Exercise your tired hands upon an imaginary keyboard. Stretch your hands out, and flap them like wings of a bird. Rotate your wrists clockwise and anti-clockwise. If you write a lot exercise your fingers by clenching your fists. Then open out your fingers fast. This helps to relieve finger fatigue but is also prevents fingers from gaining deposits at the joints.
