How can I make my manicure the most beautiful ?

Please give me some ideas about solving that problem !How can I make my manicure the most beautiful ?
1. file your nails and get them even, and at a good length..not too long.





2. paint on a clear coat





3. paint on your color.- start with one strip down the middle of your nail and then do another strip on each side.





4. paint on another clear top coat.





5. wait about 2 minutes, then put your fingers under cold water- it helps them dry faster.





**if your manicure chips heres an easy fix:


on the spot where the nail polish is gone, take the brush and just dot it, don't paint it like you did before. use the bottom of the brush to dot it. then let it dry and do another coat of the color to even it out.How can I make my manicure the most beautiful ?
do it carefully and properly
The Essential Tools


Nail clipper Fine-grit nail file (splurge on a big file -- forget those measly emery boards) Wooden cuticle stick Cuticle oil Three-sided nail buffer








The Low-Maintenance Manicure


The great thing about this routine is that you only need to do it once every two weeks -- and it takes about 10 minutes, from start to finish!





Step 1: Prep cuticles. Swipe a bit of cuticle oil across the base of each nail, being sure to cover the entire cuticle. The oil will condition your cuticle and nail, and soften the cuticle so it's easier to push back. More on that later.





Step 2: Trim nails. Use your nail clipper to gently trim your nails to a length you like (anything over 1/4 inch past your fingertip is too long). Try to cut your nails straight across; doing so will allow you to custom-shape them with your file.





Step 3: File nails. Choose a shape you like, either square or oval. Manicure experts suggest that your nail tip's shape should mirror the curve of your cuticle (that is, if your cuticles go straight across your nail bed, your tip should be squared; if your cuticles are softly rounded, your tip should be oval). But let your style preference be your primary guide. Don't worry about filing nails in one direction only; do, however, avoid filing into the sides of your nails, which will make them weak and prone to breaking.





Step 4: Push back cuticles. By now the cuticle oil you applied earlier will have softened your cuticles, which makes them ready to be pushed back. (Why push them back, you ask? Because by removing any cuticle skin clinging to the nail, your nail naturally looks longer and more elegant.) To push back cuticles, place the wooden stick flat against your nail and gently push toward your finger. The key word here is gentle, as pushing too hard can cause trauma to your nail or pull the cuticle away from the nail plate, opening it to infection. If your cuticle skin is stubborn, don't fight it; leave it for your next manicure.





Step 5: Buff away. For women who don't have the time or patience to polish, buffing is the perfect fix. Begin by swiping the roughest side of your buffer across each nail; this smoothes away ridges and discoloration. Next, take the second roughest surface, and swipe it over each nail. This further smoothes any roughness left behind by the first surface. Finally, swipe the smooth side over each nail until it shines.





Step 6: Wash hands, and voila! You've got great nails!





Finally, don't leave polish on the nails for more than five days, as it has quite a drying effect on the nails.





Here are some more tips!





Nothing ruins the look of your hands like uneven nails, so trim super-long and jagged ends with a nail clipper.





A file shapes nails and fine-tunes the work of the clipper. Look for one made from ground crystal, which has a finer grit than an emery board or metal file.





Buffing smoothes the nail surface and creates intense shine, making it an essential part of the perfect manicure.





Moisturized nails are less likely to break, so hydrate yours with cuticle oil. Your hands will look prettier, too. It's similar to the brightening effect that lipstick has for the face; cuticle oil does the same thing for your nails.





Pushing back the cuticles exposes more of the nails, making them look longer. Choose from metal, plastic, or wooden sticks (which should have cotton-covered tips). Wrapping the tip prevents cutting the tissue surrounding the nail.





Even at-home tools need to be kept clean. Mild sanitizers don't contain the same powerful ingredients used by salons, but they will keep your tools pristine between manicures.





Hope that this helps!
