Hi Girls

I hope everyone has enjoyed a well earned rest during the Christmas break and January holidays…I know I did! You know when you had a good rest when you start thinking about work and start missing your clients!  Yes I tell you no lie I started to miss the chit chat and the banter that I have with all my clients and I guess I started to feel like a piece of me was missing. . .the part of me that genuinely enjoys and gets pleasure from making women look beautiful and sexy.

Speaking of feeling beautiful and sexy, today I would like to blog on Male Manicures.  Most boys will never admit in public if they enjoy being pampered with a Manicure.  I guess it does not sound manly even though the word starts with “Man”inure!!

Regardless, if your man is a ‘tradie’ or works in the office they all can use a helping hand.  After all presentation is important on or off the job and in your personal life and professional life.  At first there may be some hesitation expressed at your suggestion. . .its only a natural reaction followed by a mock on what colour polish to apply but be warned once they experience a manicure it will be hard to go back to the unkept look.

Lets have a look at reasons to convince your man to have a Manicure

1. Sexy Factor - your man likes to take pride in his appearance – trust me they all do- and this is another way they can extend their grooming regime to give them that clean polished look
2. Pampering - It feels great when we get our nails done.  So your man will receive that same pampering feeling of being looked after – hey ladies you might even get lucky that night!  Men need pampering its what’s missing in their life.
3. Relaxing - Is your man a bit stressed from all his work commitments?  This is the perfect solution to help them forget their problems and distract him with something new and different.
4. Healthy Hands - You can improve the health and well being of your partners hands and nails.  Remove all the extra cuticle and hangnails that has overgrown and trim for a cleaner look.  Exfoliation scrubs can be used to slough dead skin away on his hands as men generally have tougher skin then you and me.
5. It looks great - The fast pace of our modern lifestyle is very stressful and the pressure is on all of us.  However the modern lifestyle can make a man look older than his years.  They say that you can always tell a woman’s age from her hands so why not a man?

A Softer Touch - We all love when our man touches  and caresses us.  But the touch may be a bit rough if those hands are never moisturised or generally unkept.  Trust me there is nothing like the feel of  a male manicured hand on your body.

How to Perform a Manicure For Your Man

NB If your man has very rough hands with over grown cuticles, you can soak his hands for 5 minutes in a bowl of warm soapy water or warm olive oil to soften the skin around the nails and hands

1. File his nails short or clip them with a nail clipper if they are really long followed by a file into shape.  Just follow the natural shape whether its square or oval.
2. Buff the nail plate with a natural course buffer.  It will remove the old nail plate and expose the brand new nail plate underneath.  Any yellow stains can be removed and a healthy pink nail is restored.
3. Push back cuticles with a wooden stick or cuticle pusher.  Be careful not to force to hard as unmaintained cuticles can bleed if forced to hard.
4. Lightly trim the cuticle making sure to cut off just the excess and not cut too deep.  If bleeding occurs use a disinfectant and hold for a minute.  It will heal quickly.
5. Buff the nails with a rough surface buffer once more, followed by a shiny gloss buff finish.  Apply a little oil around the edges of the cuticle to finish off the look.  Some men might even like the glossy polish look with clear polish applied on top.  But most will be happy with a natural neat finish.

Now your man has gorgeous hands to touch you with!  But be warned ladies this pampering could be very addictive. . . and you will be manicuring his hands every week like me!!
