Either buy a manicure/pedicure set and they'll give you instructions, or either go to a nail salon and pay for it.





Personally, I would just skip the manicure and pedicure and just pay for about 8-10 dollars (for nails) and let the professionals do help me paint my nails.





Also, you can also let your friend's help you paint the hand you have trouble with.





First, you exfoliate your hands. Vaseline and either salt and sugar, plus rubbing vigoriously can exfoliate. Wash it off too.





Apply base coat, wait for it to dry. Should take about 10 minutes.





Apply color coat, wait for it to dry. Should take about 10 minutes.





Apply another color coat so the color will not be watery and it gives the color its full potential. Wait for it to dry for 10 minutes.





Apply a clear top coat. This will seal in the color. Wait for it to dry for 20 minutes. Please don't touch anything or else your nails are ruined. Don't touch them to double check too.





After, don't take a shower or wash the dishes, anything to do with water. We don't want it to wash off, in case if it's not fully dry.





Then, apply hand cream and massage it into the cuticles. Then, cut the little skin peels that stick out.





Enjoy! =)驴?驴manicures and pedicures?驴? how to do them myself驴?驴?
1)Trim and shape your nails. An emery board should be used, for those with weak nails avoid nail clippers for this stage. Most people shape their nails squared or rounded. Square nails are strong and resilient but snag easily and the corners can scratch. Rounded nails are somewhat weaker but won't have the problems of square nails.





2)Soak your hands in warm water for 5 minutes





3)Gently push back your cuticles with an orange stick then trim them off carefully with nail clippers. You can buy special clippers for this job.





4)Apply 2 coats of nail hardener. At this stage if you want to paint the tips of your nails (the white-ish bit) with white nail polish before putting on the nail hardener. You can buy guide stickers for doing this.





To look after your hands (and cuticles) rub them with moisturiser daily to stop the skin from getting dry. To take care of your nails, treat them as though they're always freshly polished and avoid banging them too much. Use your fingertips instead of nails for typing (although tapping your nails supposedly helps them grow). Avoid using nail polish remover more than twice a week.
before paiting your toe nails give yourself a foot \massage session then do the same to your fingers and hands
Get the nail set from wal~mart
You could go to any drug store, buy clear fake nails and then buy some mainicure nail polish and do the same thing with toes...oooorrr you could just by the fake nails that are like 10 bucks and have them done already for you in the package at any drug store. %26lt;3krista
