Activity Instructions

Start off by asking the participant what they would like for their nails (nail removal, polish change, filing)?

 

1. Remove any polish from nails.
2. File to desired shape.
3. Apply base coat.
4. Apply 2 coats of nail polish. 
5. Apply top coat.

 

Let nails dry completely before applying the next coat.

Magazines can be used as a conversation starter (I’ve been chatting about the Royals recently!).
