in particular. If you feel the need of a system of manicure /
pedicure and wandering, then the following mentioned system would
be of great help to you. So for creating a perfect manicure /
pedicure system at home, you will need the followings:

* 2 toe separators
* A couple of paper towels
Now you definitely would be interested to know,
how the abovementioned items will help you in doing manicure
/ pedicure.
Nail polish
removing:
Take cotton
balls as many as you need them, soak each finger well with nail
polish remover, so that your fingernails true color start appearing.
Use a very less quantity of nail polish remover to remove the
nail polish. Since nail polish is extremely drying, never soak
the nail in it, especially the cuticle. Keep the good contacts
of your nails with the nail polish.

Soaking
and removing cuticles:
Your
cuticle is like a fore skin. It is found at the bottom of your
nail, where finger nail cartilage and skin meets. To remove cuticle,
soak your nail in warm water for 3 minutes or less. Now use cartilage
remover to push the cuticle down.
Trimming
your fingernails:
To trim
out toenails, use nail clippers. To reshape or shorten nails,
simply use nail clippers. If your nails are hard, soak them in
water before trimming. If you have soft nails, do not trim after
bathing or washing, because in doing so you may cause damage,
which sometime may lead to infection. Do not cut too short toenails,
because doing so increase the chances of developing ingrown toenails.
Filling Nails:
Use emery board to make your
fingernails smooth and good looking. You can use emery board
to smoothen the ends of your fingernails. Do not use emery board
to scrap your natural nail surface at all. This will make the
nails surface rough.
Exfoliating
& Moisturizing Hands and Feet:
Now
use sugar wash to massage your feet, legs, arms and feet. Rinse
your hands first and then use pumice stone to rub away callus
and other rough surfaces on the bottom of your feet. Now, rinse
the scrub of your feet and legs. Now, use moisturizer or some
other soothing cream for your hands and feet that may heal a
cracked and roughdry skin.
Polishing
Nails:
Remove excess moisturizer
using polish remover. Polish your nails and dry them between
coats, preferably minimum of four coats. If you have weak or
brittle nails, place one or two coats of ridge filling nail polish
on the nail as base coat to shore up the nail. Two coats of a
colored nail polish are next, followed by a topcoat to add luster.
Use foam toe separators to fingers, while polishing. Allow drying
the polish.
