3 Ways to Get a Perfect Manicure at Home
There's nothing like a new set or a fresh manicure to make you feel elegant. Looking after our nails is a form of self-care that we can't go without because well-manicured, healthy nails are a total confidence booster!
If you can't get to the nail salon, are on a budget, or you just want to try doing your nails for yourself... try these three methods for getting the perfect DIY manicure at home!
1) Natural Nail Manicure
Once you start routinely giving your natural nails some TLC, you'll see amazing results. To get strong and healthy natural nails that make the best base for nail polish, start with a good manicure kit to trim and file your nails. Push back your cuticles, and apply a nail treatment. Follow these steps regularly to see the difference and get beautiful nails.
Tip: Remember to stay hydrated and eat plenty of protein rich foods - your natural nails will thank you!
2) Manicure with Press On Nails
Press-on nails are so easy to use, and they give you stunning nails in minutes! There are thousands of colours, designs and shapes to choose from. We think they are perfect for you if you like to change up your look pretty frequently. Press-ons can last up to ten days with proper care! Watch this tutorial from Cloré's own Kayla to see just how simple and effective false nails can be.
Tip: Use a nail treatment on your natural nail first to maintain nail health and prevent any dryness from the glue.
3) Gel Manicure
With gel nail polish and a UV lamp, you can get a long lasting, professional quality manicure at home. Gel nail polish requires curing with UV light to harden, it won't dry without it, but you get a glossy, chip-resistant manicure that can last up to three weeks! To DIY at home, get yourself a UV nail lamp, some gel nail polish, and follow these steps:
1) Apply a gel base coat and cure under the UV lamp
2) Apply a thin layer of your chosen gel polish and cure again
3) Apply a second thin layer of gel polish and cure
4) Apply a gel top coat and cure for a final time!
