Two or three times a week a good rich cream should be well massaged into the-hands and the surplus dried, ed cream is wards. Next the hands must be soaked fcr five minutes in warm soapy water. Cuticle oil should then be worked in well with the help of an orange stick and the cuticles gently pushed back until the half moons are adequately exposed.
When the nails are thoroughly dry they can be varnished or polished with a dry powder or powder block. If a bright varnish is chosen it must ione exactly with the lipstick. It is correct if the nails are short to cover the whole nail above the half-moon. If the extreme tip of the nail is not varnished, a white manicure pencil should be run beneath it to emphasize the contrast. Coloured varnish should not be used for sports or during the time in the country.
