Are you in a hurry but still want your nails to look great?  Well, here are some fast and easy tips from Sally Hansen that will leave your nails looking gorgeous in no time!

Step 1. Shape Nails

  • Trim nails to desired length with a nipper, scissors or nail clip.
  • Shape and smooth nail edges with a nail board or file.
  • File nails in one direction from each side of the nail toward the center – this helps prevent nails from splitting.

Step 2. Groom Cuticles

  • Soak fingers or toes in warm water to soften cuticles.
  • Pat nails dry. Leave cuticles moist.
  • Apply a cuticle remover like Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover, following package directions.
  • Gently push back cuticles with a cotton-wrapped cuticle stick or cuticle pusher.
  • Carefully nip away excess cuticles and hangnails.
  • Thoroughly wash off excess cuticle remover and pat dry.
  • Apply cuticle treatment and massage. Remove any traces from nails before applying nail treatments or color.

Step 3. Prep Nails

  • Apply a nail treatment or base coat to protect nails, smooth the nail surface and help manicures and pedicures last longer.

Step 4. Apply Nail Polish

  • Apply 2 coats of your favorite Sally Hansen nail color.

Step 5. Seal Shine and Finish

  • Finish with a top coat to seal nails, add brilliant shine and help nail color last.
  • When applied between manicures and pedicures, top coats add strength and protection and keep your nail color looking shiny and just-applied fresh.
  • Apply a cuticle oil after your manicure or pedicure is complete.
