How to do a Natural Manicure at Home
Step 1: Clean White Nail Tips
Use a nail tool or the pointy wooden stick that comes in the semi-cured gel nail box.Ā Run it underneath your nails to remove any dirt and to even out your white nail tips.
Step 2: Push Back Cuticles
Use a cuticle pusher or the rounded edge of the wooden stick found in the semi-cured gel nail box. Push the cuticles back away from the nail bed. If you have any cuticle stuck to the nail you can very gently scrape it off using a cuticle trimmer.
Step 3: File and Shape Nails
Use a nail file to file down your nails if you need to shorten them.Ā Then when you ready to shape them avoid using a rough back and forth motion. You want to gently file in one direction as much as possible when shaping your nails.
Step 4: Smooth Out Nail Surface
This step is only needed if your nails are rough or damaged on top.Ā Using a gentle nail file like the one found in the semi-cured gel nail box. Smooth out the top of the nail by filing it very gently, preferably in a circular motion, to just smooth down any roughness.

Wash your hands with soap and warm water to remove nail dust and pat them dry.
