Three ways to nail your manicure and pamper yourself on a cosy evening in --[Reported by Umva mag]

FANCY an easy bit of luxury as the winter weather bites? Treat your hands and nails to a manicure. But rather than heading to a salon, save on costs and give yourself a DIY pamper session. GettyTreat your hands and nails to a manicure during your next night in[/caption] Follow these tips . . . BACK TO BASE: First, clean your nails with some polish remover on cotton wool to get rid of any old bits of polish and dirt. Then start filing them down to the same length. Make sure your nails are completely dry before you file them, otherwise they can split. Decide the shape of the nails you want. If you like an almond shape, file diagonally from the outer edges to the middle. Or if you want more a square shape, file horizontal to the tip. SOFT FOCUS: Slather your hands in some rich hand cream. Try the Cuticura repair hand and nail cream, £1, from Poundland. Then pop the tips of your fingers in a bowl of olive oil and soak for ten minutes. The vitamin E in the oil helps strengthen your nail and soften the cuticles. Push back your cuticles with a rounded stick. You can get a pack of cuticle sticks for £1 from Boots. POLISH UP: It’s always best to apply a base coat before painting your nails to prevent colour from staining. You can get a wide range of colours from barrym.com — and there’s currently 25 per cent off with code NAILS25. Start with one stroke down the centre of the nail and then come back to do the sides. Professional manicurists often offer specialist nail art but you can get the same look with stickers, including coloured tips to give the appearance of a French manicure. A pack of 35 stickers is £2 from Boots. Finally, your manicure will last a lot longer if you apply a top coat of polish to seal it. All prices on page correct at time of going to press.
