There is no stylish lady that joke with her nails. Some, as a matter of choice, wear their natural nails, while some wear theirs with French manicure. It is a matter of choice. Most women are scared of fungi arising from foreign bodies.

But these steps will guide you and protect you from finger fungi.

Step 1
Remove old polish from the nails by holding cotton pad with nail polish remover firmly against the nail. Wipe off with a single stroke, repeat if necessary to remove old vanish.

Step 2
Apply control cuticle remover around the nail contour. Gently roll back with a cotton bud, work away the dead tissue to form a neat outline. Do not cut the cuticles.

Step 3
Brush the nail with a soft manicure brush and scrub. Nail polish will not adhere properly if an oily residue is left on the nail plate. Dry your hands properly before proceeding with the manicure.

Step 4
Shape the nail with an emery board. Hold the board under the edge of the nail at a slight angle. Do not file the corners of the nail away; they give strength to the nails.

Step 5
Apply a base coat over the entire nail surface. If nails are fragile, thin and damaged, use natural base treatment. If nails are rigid and brittle, apply classic base treatment. For healthy nails, use original protein base treatment.

Step 6
Apply two coats of your favorite colour over your base treatment.

Step 7
Avoid soft, fragile nails and other nail problems-use the nail treatment suitable for you. Original nail treatment strengthens nails and prevents common nail disorders. Our formal dehyde-free nail treatment is perfect for post-artificial nails, sensitive, rigid and brittle nails.

Step 8
Apply one coat of dry over a wet manicure and in minutes, your nails are touch dry and ready to go.

Step 9
Apply tip-top shine midweek as an in-between manicure to revive dull polish and achieve a just manicured look.

Step 10
Use a generous amount of cream on the hands as often as necessary to prevent moisture loss and ageing of the hand.
