Show of hands in view of the mirror. Has there been a significant change in your face, your ‘self’, since you last manicured your nails? Whilst there is nothing unique or rical about your manicure application it’s usually your self-confidence that you are judging the work done on your toes. Yes, many people say that manicure nails improve self-esteem. However what do they mean? Perhaps the self-esteem of a nail-obsessed individual actually depends on the preparation beforehand. The basic ingredients of a manicure polish can help to promote confidence when applied correctly to the nails. Functionally Correct Foundation

A basic foundation for a manicure is to get rid of excess dirt and grime from the skin on the nails. The culprit is often the nails and edges of nails. Take it upon yourself to stop the dirt from clogging up the skin and then use a clean, exfoliating rubbery product. Apply a primer topcoat or an oil based lubricating treatment to your hands to help ensure an even, polished finish. Place a compressing cloth on the skin that closely surrounds the nails to prevent rubbing and to keep it clean. Use a plate at the base of the hand to keep all of the nicks and cuts from being visible. Use a clean cloth over the tips of the nails to keep those nails clean, without being covered in cuticles, and dry to allow your manicure to really take its toll on the skin underneath. Take it a step further by washing your nails after you have touched them. This will help to prevent excess dirt and contamination on your manicure polish from leaving behind. d Colour

Some people may want to keep their nails pale, while others may want to d a hint of colour. Let your manicure do the talking and opt for a warm, neutral she. Although depending on your skin colour you may not be able to nail them in a she that is too bright, we can guarantee that with a few lessons in lip salve and a touch of white nail polish you won’t forget your nails are gorgeous. After drying to allow the hands to dry a little more, apply a coat of coloured polish. It should go in at the ends of your nails, in between the nails and the arch of your hands to avoid an uneven finish. To avoid any bleeding from the nail brushes and keep them clean apply a clean cloth or a coat of clear nail polish. Apply two coats, repeating at least once a week. Brushy Finish

Another way to keep nails clean while their polish is on is to use a brush underneath. Whether you opt for a white, black or red bristle brush or a fuzzy, fluffy brush the result will be a product of months of practice. This kind of brush will help to keep your manicure nails free of debris. If you are having trouble with a brush getting it into your nails its time to get some white nail paint to help around the edge to keep it clean and d extra shine. Use Trims at the Top and Top of Your Ankles

Curling your nails will help to keep those tips neat and tidy to keep your nails looking beautiful at every possible angle. If you like the colour of polish on your nails but are unhappy with the straight edges then keep your nails neat and tidy with natural isopropyl alcohol gel or animal hair to d some texture and polish. To keep nails neat and tidy all corners and fingers will be swept to keep the look neat and tidy. While we know this is a self-deception tip keep it on your toes this week. **

Show off your nail art with glitter

Famous nails art artists are coming to Europe to show off their glitter nail art this season. The best way to show off your glitter nail art would be with gel nail wraps as they are easier to use and have the ded glam appeal of glitter. Gel nail wraps are usually painted onto your nails and over the top and are ideal for nails on the outer edges. Find coloured nails and nails to be long on either side or nails that are too short. Put these into your gel nail wraps to d a funky attitude to your nail art.Keep your nails healthy with a simple routine that starts everyday and ensures that nails look great all year round.
