What you need.

• Nail polish remover
• Nail file
• Cuticle cream
• Hand cream
• Base coat/Top coat
• Choice of colour polish
• Cuticle pusher/ orange wood stick
• Small bowl for warm water
• Cotton wool

1. Preparation. Remove any old nail polish from the nails of both hands.
2. FILE -To avoid nail breakage, smooth the file in just 1 direction rather than using

a “sawing” motion, until the nails are the length and shape desired.

3. SOFTEN CUTICLES Massage a small amount of cuticle cream to the cuticle area of

the filed hand, and place fingers into a bowl of warm water. Add some nourishing

bath oil to the water if you have some.

4. TIDY CUTICLES. Dry the 1st hand and then gently push cuticles back with the Avon

Cuticle Pusher, being careful not to apply too much pressure, or push too far. Repeat on the 2nd hand.
