Basic Procedure for Manicure

When we're younger, it seems like we can just brush a layer of nail polish on your nails. but noooo, its not that simple.

File:
Its impt to file and smoothen the nails. Shape could be curved or 'rectangular'. Most ppl like it the be the latter since i personally feel its due to the elegance. Super tedious! Necessary only for a perfectionist..

Cuticle removal:
Push back your cuticles carefully. Its easier to accomplish that after soaking in warm water! and you can paint a lager area of your nails after that. Looks better.. slightly if you can notice :)

Moisturise:
Some nail care products but hmm i dont use them

Base Coat:
Its impt as it'll let the colours stay longer and your nails doenst become yellow so easily.

Top Coat:
To provide the shine and gloss!! My fetish :S

Quick Dry:
Like the name imply, put it over and your nails can dry in about 30s or so? But but but, given my impatient nature, it kinda smears my manicure when i brush over it. Haha, soooo , i figure, we need to wait a short while then paint over since the top most layer shd be dry by then. I has the top coat gloss effect as well.
