"Hi, today we're going to talk about how to manicure short nails. And first I would start by removing the polish. And make sure you get it off all these sides. Then what you're going to do is you're going to take and you're going to go ahead and file your nails. Not making sure not to get; dig into the sides. Once you filed all your nails, you're going to want to soak them and scrub them. Take them out and dry them. And I always tell everybody as you're drying your nails if you take that towel and gently push the cuticle back it'll save you a lot of trouble. You won't have that skin growing onto the nail. Then next usually what I would like to do is apply some cuticle cream and massage that in. If you message that in you're going to stimulate the circulation. Which is going to help to promote those nails to grow. After you've messaged that in a little bit I always like to take my cuticle pusher and gently push anything that you have back, make sure there's nothing on the skin. And then you would go ahead and take and go over all them again with some remover to make sure you've gotten any traces of any oils out. Start with a base coat that is recommended for your type of nail. If it's a dry nail use a polish, a base coat designed for dry nails. And at least put one coat of polish on and a top coat. And that would help to promote you to grow nails."
