Our Tips for a Flawless Manicure
It goes (almost) without saying—a perfect manicure always starts with careful prep. Here are some key steps to achieving flawless nails and long-lasting colour.
Prepping Your Nails Before Applying Colour
Before applying your polish, make sure to clean and file your nails. Remove any previous polish residue with a gentle remover and lightly buff the surface using a prep buffer for optimal polish adhesion.
Use the Mani-Helper and Corrector Pen for a Pro-Level Application
Our latest must-have accessory? The Mani-Helper, designed to make polish application easier. It fits onto the cap of all our bottles, offering a better grip for a steady, precise application. We love it! And for any little mishaps, the Corrector Pen is your go-to for a salon-quality finish.
Hydrate Your Nails for Long-Lasting Colour
Finally, don’t forget hydration, essential for healthy nails. Before and after applying polish, massage a few drops of Huile Verte, our ultra-nourishing oil for nails and cuticles. The Nourishing Nail Pen is also great for deeply nourishing and strengthening nails.
Whether you love soft pastels or bold, vibrant shades, March is the perfect time to refresh your manicure. Take the time to prep your nails, choose a shade that reflects your mood, and don’t be afraid to experiment with unexpected colour pairings. A well-thought-out manicure is more than just a detail—it’s a signature, a mindset, a subtle way to express your style. So, which shade will be your crush this month?
