Most women like to look their best, and express themselves with makeup, clothing and nail care. There are a variety of nail colors and patterns to try with any fashion statement you want to make. Whether you have your nails done professionally or you do them yourself at home, it is a fresh and fun way to show your personality. Nail polish and appliques can be subtle or wild and are available virtually anywhere.
Instructions
1. Soak hands in soapy warm water for about two minutes to soften the cuticles; dry and apply a light hand lotion.
2. Apply a clear base coat to nails. This will allow the nail polish to last longer and go on smoother. It usually takes about four to five minutes for it to dry. Try not to touch anything or use your hands during this process.
3. Apply one coat of the emerald green polish to your nails using slow, even strokes. Wait for it to dry before applying a second coat.
4. Apply a clear top coat to protect and harden the nails after the second coat has dried to avoid chipping. Wait about five minutes for this to dry before using your hands.
5. Use a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover to get rid of excess polish on the skin.
