Create a soothing environment. Offer a basic selection of drinks, snacks, and/or entertainment.
Place towel, then adequately sized bowl or basin with hot water (as hot as comfortable) and desired additions, on a table at a comfortable height where you can sit across from each other. Essential oils of choice and bubbles make a traditional luxurious touch. Ensure good task lighting.
Remove old polish if needed.
Soak fingertips/hands for ten to fifteen minutes.
Use a cuticle pusher to push back cuticles, removing loose dead skin around the nail.
Trim, file, and buff nails. Gently clean under nails with the cuticle pusher.
Dry, then moisturize and massage hands. Apply cuticle oil to cuticles and nails; massage in. (Make sure nails are not oiled before polish.)
Apply a clear base coat, two coats of desired color, and a clear top coat. Let coats dry completely before the next one; keep them thin and even. Keep common polish colors on hand.
