 Well many of us are very conscious about the looks of our nails and their shapes. Some goes to beauty parlors or some takes care of their nails at home.

We will tell you some directions for the natural manicure; you can even do it while staying at home.

 First of all properly file, wash and soak your nails, soften cuticles, clean and then shape the cuticles.

Always remember that you are filing your nails only when they are dry, and file them in one direction.  

Wash your hands and soak them in warm water or a fruit acid solution such as butter milk or organic apple cider vinegar. Before that it's good if you will apply a cold-pressed fruit or nut oil into the cuticle area near the half-moon at the base of the nail.

Use the blunt end of an orangewood manicure stick to gently push the cuticles back from the nails.

Dry your nails completely. Then polish the top of the each nail with a fine stone sand stick to remove any ridges.

Once the ridges are removed, smooth the top of the nail with a smoothing file and a buffing chamois. Try to use the finest grade of the buffing files.
In the end massage your hands with a moisturizing cream or lotion.
 
After following these steps, you will be surprised to note the shine of your nails. So try it and see the difference.
