Hi Everyone!

So the oneeee request I consistently get is: "can you film a manicure video!" Well, the day has come... my DIY manicure video is here! I never go to the salon to get my nails done (toes yes, finger nails, no). I have mastered the at-home mani and now I'm going to show you how you can too. :) I was sent the Morgan Taylor Selfie Summer Collection c/o the Preen.Me VIP program, and thought this would be a great opportunity to use the polishes! Take a look at how I prep and polish my nails at home.

WARNING: this was a tricky video to film, I tried my best to keep it in focus the entire time.

Enjoy! XO

At first, I was like, "eh I don't really feel like doing my nails." and now that I've watched this I'm just like, " nAiL TiMe!" XD

You cannot soak nails first and file them afterwards, you damage your nails and then it causes chipping. File your dry nails first and then soak them to push and remove your cuticles. Done!

With this quarantine situation, DIY manicures are a must. Thanks for this great video!!

I find it very relaxing watching people paint their nails, anyway yours turned out really neat and cute
@samanthan869 5 years ago

Neat video, but here’s a GREAT tip: Before applying polish, wipe your nails with acetone. This will remove any oil that may be on the nail bed. Doing this step will help your polish to last a little bit longer!

LOVE the way my nails came out. Thank you Amanda!
@marydgilbert4869 5 years ago

Love love the color!! Great job. It seems like I always miss mine up before drying. Great video .
@katiamoreno4799 6 years ago

I could probably do that but I’m so impatient and I always smudge them before they dry

Such a pretty summer color!

Your voice relaxed me so I fell asleep and couldn‘t watch the video to the end. So I began again😂🤷🏽‍♀️ But beautiful nails and nice video👍🏽👍🏽

That's one of my favorite colors. Love pinks Beautiful 😍
@christineburg8267 5 years ago

Thank you for the video, I never do my nails. For me its a new area to enter. I learned your systematic approach and I get the therapeutic aspect. Thanks, you inspired me.

OMG I always do my thumbs last too because I use them for cleanup as well. It works so good!! Best tool, better than an actual tool.
@jennifergrove2368 6 years ago

I wish it didn't take so long for nail polish to fully dry. :\
@nicoleb2567 5 years ago

Watching this finally! Thank you for the awesome tips. Your nails always look so pretty!!! 😍
@Kimberfae 6 years ago

I like to base coat the white tips first then another full nail coat and also under as well before I polish. Beautiful job and gorgeous color ❤️
@mariadnan8803 2 years ago

OMG SAMEE!! for me when I’m doing my manicures, painting my nails it’s like me time. It’s sooo relaxing and therapeutic. Btw I’ve never heard of painting underneath ur nails with a bottom coat, I’m a bit spectacle bit I’ll try and see f it does protect them, normally I just cap my free edge, bc like it’s kinda the same thing. But I do have very long nails so I’ll definitely try this out. 😊😁🥰

Going to try this rn!! 🥰🥰🥰 Edit 2h later: this is just AMAZING my nails didn’t looks as perfect as hers bc I couldn’t buff them but it’s GREATTTT 👍
