Performing a basic manicure at home involves several steps to ensure your nails are clean, shaped, and polished. Depending on the tools you are using you can expediate the process or get a better result. For a basic one at home you should get
- Nail polish remover
- Cotton pads or balls
- Nail clippers
- Nail file
- Cuticle pusher
- Cuticle oil or cream
- Hand moisturizer
- Base coat (protects natural nail bed, also helps nail polish adhere better)
- Nail polish (color and nail art!)
- Top coat (prevents polish from chipping, adds shine)
