A home manicure is a seemingly perfect way to save time and money. Enjoying the comfort of your own home, turning on your favourite film and creating perfect nails - what could be more enjoyable and relaxing? 

This glamour often fades after one or two failed attempts: stains on the nails, uneven lines and the constant fear that the result will be far from what you imagined. Sound familiar? 

Don't despair! We have two useful tips to help you achieve great results. Firstly, approach the process with patience, step by step. Secondly, in this article you'll find 6 tips that will make you a master of home manicures. 

Start painting your nails from your index finger or little finger, leaving your thumbs for later. This will allow you to carefully touch up the edges if necessary and achieve a flawless result. 

It's best to start with the more difficult tasks, leaving the easier ones for later. For example, if you are right-handed, start by colouring your nails on your right hand, and if you are left-handed, start on your left hand. After that, you can move on to the other hand. 

This innovative method, developed by American manicurist Mitien Le, makes applying nail polish much easier: ‘Let your finger do all the work for you,’ she advises. Instead of manoeuvring the brush with your left hand, hold it at a fixed angle and gently bring the finger of your right hand under the brush. The result? Precise and even coverage with minimal effort!

Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the skin around your nail. Once it dries, you can easily remove the polish from the skin. Other effective alternatives are coconut oil, liquid silicone or even PVA glue, which forms a thin film that can be easily and quickly removed from your fingers. 

Use a small hair crab to gently pull the skin away from the edge of the nail - this way you can apply the polish only on the nail itself and avoid getting it on the skin.

A manicure corrector is an indispensable tool for quickly and accurately correcting manicure mistakes. Easy to use and effective, it is affordable and durable because it can be refilled with regular acetone. The kit often comes with spare applicators, making this tool not only economical but also convenient for regular use. It is an ideal choice for those who appreciate a flawless manicure and strive for perfect neatness in every detail.
