How To Give A Basic Salon Perfect Manicure - Step by Step Guide - DIY

[@edmundspencer6253]

I am learning how to manicure my wife's nails. My wife is bedridden and unable to use her hands. I enjoy painting my wife's nails. I have purchased many different types of nail polish. I have a question, I just purchased a nail dryer a SHANY Cosmetic Salon Expert 54W Dual Hand Professional Nail Dryer. I have not received the nail dryer yet. My question to you is how do I tell what setting do I use, fan or lights?

[@edmundspencer6253]

Sadly my wife went to meet our Lord Jesus Christ this past May.

It's 2022 and this video is still good and informative. Hard to believe how much this have changed in 8 years.

[@ellaroberts1812]

Katie is so pretty, her voice is so relaxing, I wish she uploaded more videos...

[@angelesfigueredo5740]

This is a lovely tutorial, I love the professionalism and the elegance. Needless to say that is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen, it actually simple to follow and not harmful for the nail. That's a job really well done.

[@lexidts4299]

Ok so until recently I didn’t know about ASMR but this gives me the same feeling I would watch this or other full makeup tutorials just to make me sleepy- any one else?

[@aishamohamed6030]

The hand massage was soo calming to watch 😄🙂

[@andishifley5869]

A lovely manicure. As a recently graduated/licensed nail tech I never learned how to do a proper massage on a client! I will watch this video over and over to learn these movements so I can offer this to my clients. Thanks for such an informative and relaxing video. 🙂

[@mzzrrxox5461]

[@nailcaredesigns3968]

[@nutsasanchez586]

[@roxannecox7861]

It appears that even after you went over her nails with the remover, there was still red polish residue on her nails. Was there a reason you didn't remove it? Thank you!

[@syafiqroslan7459]

That red stain is from her own polish

[@crystaljackson9529]

+Syafiq Roslan it doesn't matter if it was the clients nail polish or not it should have been removed

[@roxannecox7861]

Exactly. But when I got that response, I knew it wasn't worth pursuing. LOL

[@drrllhenry]

I’m a guy that got a manicure this past weekend and I loved it! First time ever and even decided to get red polish :). Such a great experience and plan on doing it again.

[@chelseamitchell8864]

Great instructions and tutorial. I'm a UK educator and would love to send your video link to students for eduction purposes if your happy for me to do so?

[@lexidts4299]

I discovered asmr through watching this cause I got sleepy when I watched this and as I tried to fined more like this I discovered asmr... the results are I now love asmr!! But I still come back to watch this video :)

[@christinevicich9255]

LITERALY the same LOL

[@Autism_Forever]

Finally someone with a common sense who does not abuse the nail and cuticle with torture tools! Thanks so much for this excellent tutorial! ♥ Love your beautiful salon! If I ever in UK, I will definitely stop by your place and get a good manicure :) Where did you get that gorgeous blue chair in the background?

[@christineboyle432]

This was absolutely EXCELLENT!!! Truly and seriously the best tutorial video that I have ever seen. I really am serious. I've watched a lot of videos and yours is so thorough, and all of your tips, thank you for sharing. Do you provide certification at all?

[@karenpatricklivingston637]

Great at home video! It is very convenient to be able to have a perfect manicure right from your home!

[@kayleewilkinson2142]

Best Manicure video by far!!!

[@nuengnapahaigh2702]

Do you have to leave the 1 and 2 coat to dry off before you apply top coat?

[@fairy-swag]

yes

[@veganfortheanimals662]

Very good tutorial, thanks so much. I've just started doing my own nail. ❤️😊

[@jackeeparker7747]

Great video, and you are so lovely. I am just beginning in my nail career. Your video is wonderfully informative. Thank you.

[@BrendaMaringosi]

The best manicure videos I have ever seen ❤

[@vickighill]

I have to finish watching this tomorrow. About halfway through the hand massage I got so relaxed I'm going to bed!

[@yvonnewilson8578]

Excellent tutorial! Very relaxing to watch and the steps are very easy to follow. Love the look of your salon. Best video I have seen. Thanks for sharing!

[@canningtonnailsalon]

It is really great to have that salon perfect manicure but you guys can learn the basic then experiment alter on as long as you still put into consideration the health of your nails.

[@kasitahilimaneni4185]

i am really inspired by your tutorial. can you please tell me all the products and equipment that i need for my manicure.

[@jessl1631]

That arm massage is so calming to watch

[@paulataylor9906]

That was so relaxing, I was starting to drift off lol

[@louiseholmex]

she didn't remove the old nail Polish. I'm a manicurist myself and I'd never leave old polish on the nails.

[@JadenYukifan28]

if you are referring to the line of red polish left on one of the nails, I don't think that would matter, since she was using the same color, also, most polishes stain the surface of the nail and is hard to take off

[@sandraterrones2939]

Louise glamour nails and beauty so what did she do at 12:41? Im confused....

[@bluejeans5574]

she left some left on the edges

[@taompons]

she literally just removed the old nail polish-

[@yxxx2790]

Louise glamour nails and beauty she did

[@charitam732]

This video was do helpful I wanna start doing my own nails

[@Bethybear4]

+Edmund spencer I am sure this reply is a bit late, but for the nail dryer you want to use the fan setting to dry any regular nail polish, these 'regular' polishes are usually called a nail Lacquer, nail varnish, nail enamel, or nail polish. Now, i don't know exactly what kind of 'light setting' you are referring to, but The light setting is usually used for gel polishes, these gel polishes will come with special instructions on how to use the light to dry them, hope this helped :)

[@yasminrojas1890]

Instead of regular nail polish, can I do this with gel polish?

[@MeandGod14]

Have a practical for a nail salon just wanted to refresh 😮 thank god I did ❤❤❤ love the organization

[@yirishblessing]

even watching her giving massage felt relaxing.. god i miss my Nail salon in Kazakhstan!

[@kathieostero2598]

Hi.. I think u fogot to remove a polishes to the side?saw some polishes to the side

[@emilykamadi1841]

In manicure do we use spa salt before oil massaging?

[@arianneherglotz5704]

I wish this lady was my mani lady she’s so pro and cares about the client

[@Catsauras2016]

Whoever is like me(haha) and came here for tingles from the massage, she warms up the lotion at 7:49(for sound trigger) and the actual massage part starts around the 8:10 mark.

[@Laura59J]

Sorry, can i ask how much this procedure (manicure + massage) costs? Looks really great :)

[@Marylnnrose0124]

What is the recommended drying time between coats? I enjoyed the lesson.

[@alondrarangel3012]

Can i do acrylics after a manicure

[@priyamatharu5063]

So approx how long would the whole treatment take? Including waitings times etc. Thanks.

[@nathansidlauskas3968]

A full manicure should take around 45 minutes. The massage should only take 5-10 minutes. Hope I helped :)

[@davecabcaantonio7643]

what cream you put the Hands?

[@chandsomanah9740]

i am just learning now, my first time, hope to achieve it.

[@cancer2361964]

What do you do if they had short nails or bitters

[@yemiswags]

I enjoyed watching this, though hard to comprehend with the accent but I learned what I could

[@MonicaMartin-wt3ky]

There are a few no-no's on this video but some of its good advice. I wouldnt follow this to the T though.

[@sonohralover4ever]

Can you share which steps from this vid should not be followed?

[@serenarichards6815]

How come u didnt buff the nails with Emery board and smooth it with the rock buffer and put cuticle oil on it. To give the cuticle a soft sheen???

[@m.mairenishuilleabhain6298]

Manchester accent is it? It's so cute! ♡

[@VividPhotoVisual]

You're correct Katie does have a Mancunian accent. Glad you like it.

[@nacharles2013]

Is the Sacha Clear basecoat from Trinidad and Tobago?

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

Very professional and great detail. The massage was very relaxing to watch. You give you clients good care. Q would you have some ideas why my nails are splitting? Pealing too.

[@nathansidlauskas3968]

If it is on the nail plate then I recommend you use a cuticle knife. Try and use this professionally or go to a salon as it is very easy to cut yourself with and always use it wet usually with cuticle oil. This will make your nail plate smooth and will remove any excess peeling. You could strengthen your nails by filing to keep them nice and even; you can also harden them by going to your local salon and asking for nail hardener. Some people can't always grow long strong nails naturally just like hair. But always maintain a healthy diet. I hope I helped :)

[@songbirdmedows]

How long do you let dry between layers. Also how long to dry before the client can leave the salon ?

[@pussandkitty]

Song Bird I know it’s 2 minutes between layers but not sure how long it takes to dry.

[@rosalinaunabia1759]

Im inlove with her accent💕💕💕💓

[@VividPhotoVisual]

We all have lovely Manc accents. Thanks

[@paigestocks8377]

Your not supposed to leave old polish on the nail as it just looks unprofessional

[@kissyboots59831]

Amazing how their skin pigments match. Perfectly. Great instructional video love, despite my wise ass comment.

[@bubblehead78]

Katie - I love your accent! I could listen to you for hours. 8-))

[@misskane2003]

that nail file tho???? :o

[@GMW.artist]

She hadn't sanitised it. Personally I think disposables are better and you give your client the one you've been using for them to take home for aftercare... Grubby instruments at the start of a treatment is not very professional.

[@dorissanmartin1997]

Is that the way you supposed to hold a polish???

[@varnika_.s]

Tip: if you get nail polish on your skin, dip a qtip in nail polish remover! It works really well!

[@DontDooTooMuch]

My natural nails are SO thin and bend so easily that I have to now keep them short or use press on nails. Why are they like this now and what can I do to help them?

[@myopinon74]

Wonderful tutorial. Thank you!!!!!

[@dulcineviegas2067]

Hi dear Your cutting the cuticles but can't see how you do it

[@elliesmith1696]

What products do you use ??

[@trutenon]

cuticles help seal out moisture and dirt from getting under the skin,without them you can get fungi,so dont be so harsh on them..

[@GMW.artist]

She isn't cutting the cuticle, she's trimming dead eponychium. People falsely refer to the eponychium as cuticle...

[@varm8878]

Gillian Wills The eponychium should NEVER be cut, clipped or trimmed. The dry, hard skin is a result of clipping in the first place as the body recognises cut skin as damaged tissue so will regenerate harder, tougher skin to defend itself. The more you clip, the harder the skin gets. You can only resolve the issue by moisturising regularly with a top quality nail oil. OPI's Avoplex is outstanding for repairing the eponychium :-)

[@mallbratgirl_3005]

If you get fungi on your hands that’s your fault ngl

[@Agirlwholovessoccer]

I just finished my schooling now looking for a job the steps ive learned is to apply cuticle oil. She didn’t use any??

[@minkdevil]

I love her accent, what part of England is she from?

[@NancyMancarious]

Wow, this is so informative. Thank youuuuu

[@VividPhotoVisual]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the nice comment.

[@kelisaarche143]

[@yoroxie]

[@tashannachamma1083]

[@DontDooTooMuch]

Would be awesome for gps lol

[@sofijayapaul4590]

its very nice and you teach very well

[@vashakanaga5324]

Excellent message thank you

[@SunRaeeeee]

watching her file those nails is giving me ASMR vibes. 😌😌😌😌😌

[@varm8878]

A number of flaws in this demonstration unfortunately. Cap the nails, she says. Shame she didn't follow her own advice! Most importantly though she clipped the eponychium (the skin on your finger around the base of the nail plate), you should never do this as you are actually inflicting more damage causing the skin to harden again, resulting in a vicious circle of clipping/hardening/clipping/hardening. The more you clip, the harder the skin will become around the nail! The eponychium is often referred to as the cuticle, which is incorrect. The cuticle is the very fine layer of skin actually on the nail itself, this can be softened and removed or softened and gently pushed back but only to the eponychium - never pushed underneath as you may damage the nail matrix. You should never break the seal between the nail plate and the eponychium, the cuticle is a shedding of skin from this seal as your nail grows, so is dead skin. The eponychium is living tissue on your finger! The only way to resolve the issue of a hardened eponychium is to moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. Never, ever clip.

[@msl5131]

Can I tell you how much I appreciate this info & someone that knows what they are talking about?! I have been trimming my hangnails (which I assume is okay) but then also the dry feeling sides nearby the hangnails for years. It has become such a habit because it hardens & I feel it all the time & repeat. I have just made a commitment to myself that I will not nip that skin anymore & just keep moisturizing with my CND Solar Oil and stop the revolving door of madness! Any other advice you can offer in this respect I will be grateful!♥ Also, thank you for explaining in detail the difference between cuticle & eponychium as that is a very common misconception & you see here that she is misinforming viewers.

[@crystaljackson9529]

Varm88 she also says to paint the nail in 3 strokes but does the clients in about 7!

[@K80M92]

Crystal Jackson she was talking about coats, not strokes.

[@artemisiagentileschi2400]

Not true. The skin does not harden. Been doing this for decades and eponychium is the same and not like you preach. I've heard this fear-mongering for decades and never seen it actually happen to anyone.

[@trinibeanmi5104]

Say the one watch her tutorials ... so educate 😞😞😒😒😒😒

[@nailtherapy1017]

In the beginning of the manicure process you should also sanitize your hands along with your clients hands.

[@DontDooTooMuch]

Could you just wash them and have her wash hers too?

[@JournalSynergy]

this video was amazing!

[@etcmoments4550]

Can u please type here the basic massage movements u've used?pleaseee

[@nathansidlauskas3968]

Effleurage - a stroking movement. Petrissage- A deep movement to free lymphatic drainage.

[@valleylane51]

Good job

[@UnknownPerson-cw6cg]

Because of dryness my cuticles broke during class so I sucked the blood and pushed them up bit them off then pushed them back down. I regret it what do I do?

[@UnknownPerson-cw6cg]

Please answer 😟

[@salmanaqvi9385]

Unknown Person Try putting some glycerin on. Glycerin helps a lot. And for the future I would advise you to apply some hand cream everyday several times. Hope I helped.

[@cozycolors9917]

Suppose to rinse/wash the tools before placing in barbicide

[@tonkysue207]

Pleasure to watch.

[@lilybarrow8086]

Never cut the cuticles! There was no cuticle oil either. And emery boards just generally make me cringe since ive used a glass file. Also the residue of the old nail polish was not good

[@km-cf3hd]
