Reverse French Tutorial

Now that your nails are all pretty and healthy, let's put some color on them. And what better way than putting a twist on an old favorit...

<div style="text-align: center;">I love nail art, but in order for the design to last, you need to have a good base and pretty/healthy nail beds to make the polish stick better, look smooth and continue healthy nail growth. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are the steps and products I use to get healthy beautiful nails.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTHbMKELzGhikWS1tF1AMIfClhOpv8LWzFxrmb5SfX0RF999lyC55AnpCNrLQ4B80dZVF9J8pU0hBGEtwE8XSwdWWEX_eGKzsiUQkwgIduzIXaRQfTEEzCMpfjYXXyTGMRjuQoMJAhgYvN/s1600/at+home+mani+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTHbMKELzGhikWS1tF1AMIfClhOpv8LWzFxrmb5SfX0RF999lyC55AnpCNrLQ4B80dZVF9J8pU0hBGEtwE8XSwdWWEX_eGKzsiUQkwgIduzIXaRQfTEEzCMpfjYXXyTGMRjuQoMJAhgYvN/s640/at+home+mani+1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Step 1: Let fingers soak in a warm water and soap mix. I use a vitamin e or Aloe Vera soap. It leaves my fingers soft and moisturized.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgivJ0rCCES_3nicIsrb-HHltVQOa0vheO3pL89o2l3QQZpHonwFjrY60CXBNvAZPF-pQw0WAx7siRY1Ikix_mtSYX6kQjE4_SoCb-atsos0E6Z4opduYm15OqdtKSc-Urm976W1oh0Jue8/s1600/at+home+mani+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgivJ0rCCES_3nicIsrb-HHltVQOa0vheO3pL89o2l3QQZpHonwFjrY60CXBNvAZPF-pQw0WAx7siRY1Ikix_mtSYX6kQjE4_SoCb-atsos0E6Z4opduYm15OqdtKSc-Urm976W1oh0Jue8/s640/at+home+mani+2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Step 2: Use a cuticle oil around the nail bed. You can get cuticle oil from OPI called Aveoplex or from any Beauty Supply store.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpi_7pkGeq9AWewSS7VQsk6zk5KohKNdlJtiB1F0Xsd-l7Kakyq2g281dCRcrXUpzFsM76hrcjh2hKC2eFpHwt_h68mZYiXtGlFZdojWsvMDXbddV75cw5D2mbAfY-xUHuwKMnvgXUnao0/s1600/at+home+mani+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpi_7pkGeq9AWewSS7VQsk6zk5KohKNdlJtiB1F0Xsd-l7Kakyq2g281dCRcrXUpzFsM76hrcjh2hKC2eFpHwt_h68mZYiXtGlFZdojWsvMDXbddV75cw5D2mbAfY-xUHuwKMnvgXUnao0/s640/at+home+mani+3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Step 3: To brush the polish on smooth, push back the cuticles with a metal or plastic cuticle pusher.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOP236uI5hdcurwKK7G7A_xcmUeJK56n3mIJ9ZWvwo9fqEv_fygND5TFsW1XVo9ZBQM2fjUnpgEbonrxjI2pgOHTolpxyfMZ7kwR9yTRYT_j-K5Q52pkBGUy-33DLQ-aJpFm3P9q78B8W6/s1600/at+home+mani+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOP236uI5hdcurwKK7G7A_xcmUeJK56n3mIJ9ZWvwo9fqEv_fygND5TFsW1XVo9ZBQM2fjUnpgEbonrxjI2pgOHTolpxyfMZ7kwR9yTRYT_j-K5Q52pkBGUy-33DLQ-aJpFm3P9q78B8W6/s640/at+home+mani+4.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Step 4: Most places say not to do this, but I do it anyway. Use a cuticle cutter to trim all dead skin away from the nail bed. Then, wash your hands with soap and water and make sure there is no grease on the nail.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu5pkpYVMBJIGm1dpFp3SmAmrzfSoZEzsuUDbDmoNukn2WED4xrPSVnOzND5VBzpCugyo6D5KpWKR0eQ6jrTwShMkx8zCs2K1B4lvBNdncrk1NGxQqmE8bNVGYHGsh7ZAiuUOzg7a3qWtB/s1600/at+home+mani+5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu5pkpYVMBJIGm1dpFp3SmAmrzfSoZEzsuUDbDmoNukn2WED4xrPSVnOzND5VBzpCugyo6D5KpWKR0eQ6jrTwShMkx8zCs2K1B4lvBNdncrk1NGxQqmE8bNVGYHGsh7ZAiuUOzg7a3qWtB/s640/at+home+mani+5.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Step 5: File the soft nail down to a length that you want. You can make it a blunt file by filing perpendicular to the nail or rounded to make sure there are no sharp corners.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmHVKWcC8_sFf-m8ySDMDSf-tJra4c6CaM-3fJ4Z4JazVeiG_5WMHxXwc-i5CnL4WJRUP1Q80oJwvqdmrqZXu7XCBjWwXeT91vSYAaKC3n7oFHBu_eb2_VXTWJClxxOXjmF10bFccPvq9E/s1600/at+home+mani+6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmHVKWcC8_sFf-m8ySDMDSf-tJra4c6CaM-3fJ4Z4JazVeiG_5WMHxXwc-i5CnL4WJRUP1Q80oJwvqdmrqZXu7XCBjWwXeT91vSYAaKC3n7oFHBu_eb2_VXTWJClxxOXjmF10bFccPvq9E/s640/at+home+mani+6.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Step 6: Use a nail strengthener or a natural base coat to bring out the natural nails' potential.</div>
