You don't have to have these items you can always use what you have, this is just what I do when I have the time to do a manicure.

Step 1: Remove any nail polish you have from the last time you painted your nails ,We all know you have some ;), but if don't have any then you can skip this step.

Step 2: Put one tablet of Efferdent into a small bowl and put in enough warm water so the water will cover your nails,then leave your nails in the water for 10-15 minutes, this step will whiten your nails.

Step3:NOw scrub your hands with either a store bought or DIY hand scrub, to fix the winter damage on your hands.

Step 4:File and cut your nails to your desired shape and lenght.

Step 5: Now paint your nails with first  O.P.I Nail Strengthener, then the Sally Hansen Nail Strengthener, then the Out the Door Top Coat, and then I ended up using the color "Miso Happy With this Color" by O.P.I; paint on 2 layers of each polish on your nails.(Make Sure to let each layer dry VERY well)

Step 6: Give your hands and cuticles some love with some hand lotion, and cuticle balm.

Step 7: Enjoy your new manicure (you didn't spend a fortune on) and go show it off!
