MANICURE HINTS
The following hints will prove helpful when manicuring;:— First, thoroughly cleanse the nails. A nail brush, vigorously applied, with warm water and soap, is best for this purpose. Next use a coarse emery board with which to file the nails. File from the edges to the centre, and smooth off rough edges with smooth side of emery board. When filing, maintain the shape of oval most suited to shape of finger. For most purposes the shape of the oval at the base of the nail can. be followed also for the edge. Nails should be quite dry and free from grease before applying liquid polish; otherwise the polish will adhere unevenly and be unsightly. Use orange-stick to and whiten the nail-tip; wrapping a piece of cotton-wool dipped in cuticle remover around the stick. Nail-tips should then be gone over a second time with dry cotton-wool wrapped round the orangestick. When using cuticle remover it should be applied also around the sides of each nail, and the uneven or dead cuticle should be smoothed away with a soft towel.
