Alright, let’s talk about doing your own nails at home. I’ve been doing mine for a while now, and I’ve picked up a few tricks along the way. It is not that hard, honestly, and you can save a lot of money by skipping the salon.

Nail Art: How to Get the Perfect Manicure at Home (Easy DIY Guide)

Getting Started

First things first, I made sure I had everything I needed within reach. Nail polish remover, some cotton balls, a nail file, clippers, and of course, the nail polish colors I wanted to use. Oh, and I grabbed a bowl of warm, soapy water too.

Prep Work

I started by taking off any old nail polish. Even though I didn’t have any polish on, I still swiped each nail with a cotton ball soaked in remover. You know, just to make sure they were super clean. After that, I gave my hands a good wash with soap and water.

  • Remove old polish
  • Clean nails with remover
  • Wash hands

Soak and Shape

Next, I soaked my hands in that warm, soapy water for about 10 minutes. It felt really nice and helped soften up my skin and nails. Then, I trimmed my nails to the length I like and used the nail file to shape them. I usually go for a rounded shape, but you do you.

  • Soak hands for 10 minutes
  • Trim nails
  • File nails to desired shape

The Fun Part

Now for the painting! To be honest, painting is not my favorite part, but after practicing for so long, I think I’ve got the hang of it. Now it is not that hard for me anymore. I started with one hand and just tried to do my best. I have tried painting it with both hands but it always turns out to be a mess. After one hand is finished, I moved on to the other. After it dried, I put on the top coat to seal it all in.

  • Painting the nails.
  • Wait for the nails to dry.
  • Seal it all in with top coat.

All Done!

And that’s pretty much it! It took me a little while, but I was happy with how they turned out. It’s not perfect, but hey, it’s a lot cheaper than going to the salon every couple of weeks. Plus, it’s kind of relaxing to just take some time for yourself and do something nice for your nails.
