Manicure My Style

Ok I know this is a long tutorial, and probablly outdone, but I wanted to show how I manicure my nails every week. I know there are a lot of steps, but I am in recovery from acrylic nails. I have to keep my nails short because I am a nursing student, and am not allowed to have long nails. Some steps can be eliminated if you wish to give yourself a quick manicure. I like to pamper myself 1/wk with a manicure... This process generally takes me 45min to an hour including all steps. I use both nail magic and the thickener because I want my nails to be stronger, especially since they are in water alot working with patients, so the added strength helps me. Once my nails are strong enough (generally 3-6 wks after acrylic removal) then I only use the nail magic. You don't have to use a basecoat if you are going to pain your nails, I just am OCD and wish not to have yellow on my nails. It has taking me a long time to get my nails whiter (especially my middle fingers, i think that's hereditary) I think the whitening paste really helps and having the extra layers before the nailpolish itself. Also because my memory ran out, the steps that were omitted was applying cuticle oil to my cuticles.

Products used:
Hand sanitizer
Manistation Hand Wash
Vitamin E oil
Powdered milk (Optional I use it cause I feel it adds strength to my nails)
CND Cuticle Away
Perfection Antiseptic Spray
Rubbing Alcohol
Manistation Hand Exfolliant
Manistation Manicure Lotion
Nail Magic Nail Hardener
Sally Hansen Miracle Nail Thickener
Beauty Secrets Base Coat
China Glaze Shower Together
China Glaze For Audrey
Black acrylic pain or black nail art polish
White acrylic paint or white nail art polish
Stripper brush (this brush is finer than those of the nail art polishes)
Beauty Secrets Top coat
StarNail Cuticle Oil.
