Step 1
Clean your nails with a polish remover. Do this to remove any previous polish and glitter on your nails. Some polish removers even contain nutrients to help keep your cuticles moisturized and strengthen your nails to avoid breakage. Wash your hands with soap and water after this.
Step 2
Clip and file your nails. Buff them too. Clip them first and file them gently. Buff them with a nail buffer at the sides and top. It brightens the nails and gets rid of manicure-ruining residues on it.

Push back your cuticles with a cuticle remover but do not cut them. They protect your nails from bacteria so push them back gently without hurting yourself or cutting them.
Step 4
Moisturize your hands and nails. Give your hands and nails a little massage while moisturize it.
Step 5
Apply a base coat now to hydrate your nails. Nail experts advice you wait two minutes in between each coat, starting with the base coat.

Apply your first coat of any color of your choice. Brush it into all corners of your nails and into the cuticles.
Step 7
Apply your second coat of color after seven minutes. You could choose to coat it a third time.
Step 8
Finish it with your top coat. It adds shine and glitter to your nails. Do it carefully in order not to mess up your manicure.
