At Home Manicure

Sometimes I just don't have time to get out and get a real manicure so here's what I do at home for a little spa feeling and a quick fix.

Start by making an easy homemade scrub. Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar with about two - three tablespoons of honey in a bowl and mix with your hands (you want the mix to be thick so add more honey if you need to!). As you get the ingredients combined, begin to scoop up the mix and scrub your hands with it for a few minutes. Rinse with warm water.

File nails to be consistent in length.

Paint on a strengthener (my favorite is OPI Nail Envy) and follow with polish. The color I used above is Essie Petal Pink (c/o Essie and Theodora & Callum). The color or brand determines for me whether I want one or two coats, with this one I used two coats. Follow up with a top coat (I used OPI RapiDry Top Coat) for shine.
