DIY Polish and Shape


Last about four weeks. Takes the yellow out of nails. Looks better than clear polish. Gives you a french nail that’s easy.
Step 1. Cut and shape hand nails using crystal glass file to prevent fraying of nails.
Step 2. File into desired shape.
Step 3. Using the buffer side of the file buff the top of the nail gently in horizontal motion. Continue until you cover all the nail area at least three times.
Step 4. Using the polish side of the buffer. Polish nail until you see a light white veil on nail.
Step 5. Using the shine side of the buffer. Shine until have a high shine look as if it was wet clear nail polish.
Step 6. Dampen Under nail white pencil tip with spray bottle.
Step 7. Under the nail, trace with white pencil the nail tips.Now you have the perfect french nail without artificial nails or damage of polish.

DIY Hand scrub.


Step 1. Pour about two quarter sized amounts of dead sea salt on top of your hands.

Step 2. Let salts melt into your hands with your own body heat. Leave on only until fully melted. Then quickly proceed to step 4.
Step 3 . Optional : Spray water on the top of your hands to melt the salts faster.
Step 4. Rinse with cool water.*****Note do not use salts on broken or irrated skin.
 Do not leave salts on hands to long or else they will cause redness, dryness of skin, or irritate skin. Only use once a week. Dead sea salts can be used for entire body exfoliation only once a week. Gives you a polished glow. This tutorial was inspired by a beach trip about 5 years ago and a $90 beauty treatment spurge my mom had recently at the mall that used similar steps. I now have replicated the treatment for less than half the price :)
