We would all love to have beautiful nails. Our hands are always on show, and we want them to look good. A shiny, smooth nail plate with healthy cuticles is the goal, especially if you find manicures hard to maintain or aren’t a fan of nail varnish. This simple recipe can be made in a single jug, yet it’s a real treat for the hands. You will be amazed at how polished and glossy your nails look after a few applications, so make sure you use the buffer regularly. We have suggested using tin oxide as the scrub ingredient; it can be obtained from pottery suppliers, but finely powdered pumice works equally well and can be sourced from online suppliers of cosmetic ingredients. Makes approx. 50g (1¾oz) SAFE STORAGE Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Keeps for up to 12 months.

Weigh all the ingredients except the tin oxide and rosemary oil into a heatproof jug. Place the jug in a pan of simmering water and heat until the beeswax is completely molten.
Remove the jug from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly, but not so much that it solidifies. Once cooled, add the tin oxide and rosemary oil, and stir thoroughly to mix.
Pour the mixture into small sterilized, airtight pots or tins. Label with the date and ingredients used. The recipe should make several small pots – enough for you and some friends. HOW TO APPLY Using a cotton wool ball, massage a pea-sized amount of product firmly over the nails and cuticles, working all around the nail edges. Buff off the excess with clean cotton wool and repeat until you achieve the desired shine. Work under the nail and around the cuticle with an orange stick or cotton bud to remove any dirt and stains. Wash your hands to remove excess buffer
