   Step 1: Finish all the things you had planned for the day that were essential for you to do.

   Soak your nails for a few minutes. , Push back and nip your cuticles. , Paint two coats of polish to nails, allowing dry time between coats.
   
   Do nail art if you wish. , Allow to dry. , Make some popcorn or other snacks, curl up with a blanket and enjoy.
   
   You may want to give yourself the manicure or pedicure while you enjoy the movie. , Grab a book and turn on some nice music.
