The 5-Minute Manicure
No time to wait for nail polish to dry? Try this polish-free manicure for neat-looking nails in no time.
Don't have the desire -- or the time -- to slave over your nails? No problem! You can still have perfect-looking hands with this so-simple manicure:
- Step 1: Remove the old polish and wash your hands in warm, soapy water. Use a nail brush to clean under your nails.
- Step 2: Dry your hands thoroughly. Use a nail file to smooth any rough edges on your nails. Keep your nails just a bit longer than the tip of your finger. It's an easy-to-maintain length and will prevent nail breakage.
- Step 3: Apply a drop of cuticle oil to each cuticle and rub it in with a finger. Then, gently push cuticles back with a wooden cuticle pusher. Don't push too hard!
- Step 4: Buff nails with a chamois or three-sided nail buffer. Buff just until your nails start to shine.
- Step 5: Apply a thick coat of lotion to hands, rub in well, and you're done!
Do this manicure once a week; between manicures, rub a drop of cuticle oil onto nails to boost shine.
