Hi, I’m Lillian and on behalf of expertvillage.com I’m here today to demonstrate a home manicure.
First of all, we’re going to talk about the supplies you’re going to need. You could
purchase all these supplies that I’m going to show you at a local convenience store or
a beauty supply store that sales to the public. Everything that I have here will cost you
probably under $20 but everything; almost everything is reusable, which in the long
run will be cheaper than having it done professionally. First of all, you’re going to need an emory
board and a nail buffer. You’re going to need some type of a cuticle pusher, whether
it’s a metal one or a wooden one; its you’re preference. You’re going to need a cuticle
nipper. Then the tweezer is for the decals and I’m also going to show you how to apply
decals on your nails after the polish is on. You’re going to want to have some cuticle
softener to soften the cuticles and we’ll talk about that a little bit later and also
some cuticle cream for very, very dried nails. Some cotton to remove the old polish and your
choice of coloring, nail paint, and then we’re going to need the top coat and the base coat.
Some nail polish remover and if you’d like some nail polish dryer. I’m going to show
you all this, all this is not totally necessary for every home manicure but it makes it convenient.
Also, a finger bowl which you soak your fingernails in to soften the cuticles and this again is
not necessary but makes it really handy. Okay so now we’re going to do a little setup
here.
