Remember, regular manicures help keep nails in good order. Just follow these easy steps for a simple but effective DIY manicure:

• To start, remove any old nail varnish with an acetone-free remover
• Trim nails with scissors and file (in one direction only) to shape. Square-shaped nails are stronger.
• Massage nails with almond oil, gently pushing back the cuticles.
• Remove excess oil and apply clear varnish before your other varnish.
• Brush varnish onto the centre of nails and then work out towards the sides.
• Apply protective top coat over dried varnish to shop it chipping.
