Natural Manicure

Niz | Homemade Recipes & Remedies | Saturday, 01 October 2005

File your nails in one direction only, and always do this when your nails are dry. Wash your hands and soak in warm water or a fruit acid solution such as buttermilk or organic apple cider vinegar, before applying a cold pressed fruit or nut oil into the cuticle. Use the blunt end of an orangewood manicure stick to gently push the cuticles back from the nails. Dry your hands completely. Sand and polish the top of each nail with a fine pumice-stone or sand stick to remove any ridges. Once the ridges are removed , smooth the top of the nail with a smoothing file and a buffing chamois. Massage your hands with a moisturising cream or lotion.
