You don’t need an entire day to achieve spa-worthy results. In just about 45 minutes to an hour, you can go from dull, uneven nails to smooth, glowing hands and a fresh, polished look—all while enjoying some much-needed "me time." Ready to unleash your inner nail artist? Let’s get started!

Step 1: Create Your Pampering Paradise

Before you start, turn your space into your personal mini spa. Light a candle with your favorite infusion and queue up some calming music (or that podcast you’ve been meaning to catch up on). Pour yourself a cozy cup of tea (or your go-to indulgence) and snack on some finger-friendly treats like berries, nuts, or a few bites of dark chocolate.

This is your time to relax and enjoy yourself, so make the setting as delightful as the pampering to come.

Gather your supplies:

●      Nail clippers

●      A nail file and buffer

●      A bowl of warm water

●      Pure Fiji’s Coconut Milk Bath Soak for a touch of tropical luxury

●      Pure Fiji’s Coconut Crush Scrub for exfoliation

●      A natural moisturizer like Pure Fiji’s Hand Creme

●      Base coat, nail polish, and topcoat

Step 2: Soak and Soften

Soaking gently softens the cuticles and prepares your nails to absorb the nourishing benefits of your products.

●      Start by removing any old polish, then treat your hands to a warm soak.

●      Add a scoop of Coconut Milk Bath Soak to the water, letting its nourishing blend of coconut oil and exotic nut oils pamper your skin and cuticles.

●      Soak for 5–10 minutes, letting the warm, fragrant water melt away stress.

Tropical Escape Tip: While you’re soaking, close your eyes and picture yourself on a serene beach—it’s a little daydream with your self-care.

Step 3: Shape Things Up

The perfect nail shape enhances the natural harmony of your nail bed, cuticles, and finger shape, creating a balanced and polished look.

●      Once your nails are softened, pat your hands dry and clip them to your desired length.

●      Use a nail file to shape them into a style that brings you joy—oval, square, almond, you name it!

●      File gently in one direction to prevent splitting or weakening.

●      Finish up by buffing the surface of your nails. This helps polish adhere better if you’re using it, but also gives your nails a smooth, healthy shine if you’re keeping them natural.

Step 4: Exfoliate Like a Pro

Time to give your hands some extra love.

●      Scoop a dollop of Coconut Crush Scrub, Pure Fiji’s indulgent exfoliator made with crushed coconut shells and nourishing tropical oils.

●      Massage it gently into your hands, focusing on rough areas and cuticles. This luxurious scrub buffs away dead skin while hydrating and leaving your hands silky smooth.

●      When you’re done, rinse off the scrub in the sink to keep the mess contained and your spa space tidy.

You’ll be amazed at how soft and refreshed your hands feel!

Step 5: Nourish and Moisturize

After exfoliating, your hands are ready to soak up some hydration.

●      Massage a generous amount of Hand Creme into your hands, paying extra attention to the cuticles. Its rich blend of coconut and dilo oils will heal and protect dry, rough areas.

●      Take it a step further with a mini hand massage. Starting at the base of each finger, use small, circular motions as you work toward the tip. Apply gentle pressure to your palms, the backs of your hands, and wrists for a full relaxation moment.

Step 6: Polish It Off

If you love nail polish, now’s your time to shine—literally! Start with a base coat to protect your nails, then apply two thin coats of your favourite color, letting each layer dry completely. Finish with a glossy topcoat to lock it in.

Not in the mood for polish? Your naturally buffed and moisturized nails will look just as chic. For a stunning natural shine, use a gentle four-way buffer, starting with the coarsest side to smooth ridges and finishing with the softest side for a glossy finish. Buff in one direction to protect your nails and reveal their natural beauty.

Step 7: Admire Your Work

Take a moment to admire your fresh manicure and soft, glowing hands. You’ve officially nailed the at-home spa experience!
