Manicure:

The Ingredients
Cotton balls or Q-Tips
Nail file and/or nail clippers
Warm, soapy water in a shallow bowl
Cuticle Cream
Cuticle Stick
Moisturizing hand lotion
Damp cloth

The Steps

1. Start by removing any old nail polish. Moisten a cotton ball with nail polish remover and wipe gently starting at the base of the nail to the tip.
   
2. Use an emery board to file your nails. If your nails need to be trimmed, do so now. File your nails in one direction starting at the edges and moving toward the top and to the type of shape you want your nails to take.
   
3. Soak your fingers in soapy water for a few minutes to soften the cuticles. Use an anti-bacterial hand soap or one with some moisturizers.
   
4. Rub a cuticle cream on the cuticles. Use a wood stick or your fingers to gently push back the cuticles.
   
5. Massage your hands with a moisturizing lotion.

Manicure In a Jar

This is my personal hand savior when I need my hands to look freshly manicured in two minutes. I do not use nail polish, so having groomed cuticles is very important.
Ingredients
· 1/2 cup (15 g) organic brown sugar
· 1/2 cup (15 g) grape seed oil
· 5 drops vanilla extract
· 2 drops lavender essential oil
· 1 drop sandalwood essential oil

Method:
Combine the ingredients in a small bowl and transfer to a wide-necked jar so that you can dip your fingers into the mix. Do just that: one by one, dip your fingertips into the jar, massaging the sugary mixture gently into cuticles and knuckles, wave hands gently to please your senses (the scent is lovely!), and briskly immerse your hands in warm water to remove excess oil.
Dry your hands and apply hand cream or plain body oil.

ALMOND BUTTER HAND TREATMENT
1 T. almond oil1 C. butter
Mix well. Before bed, massage mixture into hands, then cover with white cotton gloves. Wear all night while sleeping. Will keep in the fridge as long as butter, but mark clearly to avoid eating.

Doing all these treatments you can achieve beautiful hands naturally.
