Here's a simple technique on how to do a mini manicure. First you wash your hands. After you dry them, eliminate any nail polish that you may have with a nail polish remover. Get oil and sugar and mix them in a bowl. If you like, you can add essential oil. Put it aside and file your nails to a desired shape. Then you can get the sugar and oil mix and scrub it on your hands. Wash it out with water with no soap. Then dry your hands.

Submerge your hands in warm water for about five minutes. Now push your cuticles with an orange wood stick. Gently apply some oil or cream to the nail and massage the cuticles, just like this. Get a towel, wet it, and put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Make sure the towel gets warm. Then take the towel and wrap it around your hands. Leave it for about 1 to 2 minutes. If you're not applying polish you are done.

If you are applying nail polish then apply your base coat and wait 2 minutes. You finish the manicure by applying your favorite nail polish.

And this is how you pamper yourself with a mini manicure at home.

Bath & Body Works has a GREAT scrub in their True Blue Spa line that mixes oil & sugar and smells like oranges. I use it and it so transforms your hands. I even use it on my feet and my son loves it too.

I'm sure these whole process takes longer than 3 minutes. But great tutorial nonetheless.

Didn't understand some of her words. Is it just me? Did she say wash your hands after the hand soak with oil and sugar? I like the part with the warm towel, I will totally do that the next time I pamper myself.
