The To-Do List for a Perfect Spring Manicure
A flawless manicure takes practice! Here are a few essential steps to follow:
Prepare Your Nails
Before applying your favorite color, make sure your nails are properly prepared:
- File your nails into the shape of your choice using an electric nail file.
- Soften your cuticles with emollient before gently pushing them back with a wooden stick or cuticle pusher.
- Buff the nail surface with a nail buffer.
- Clean and degrease your nails with nail polish remover to ensure better nail polish adhesion.
Apply a Base Coat and Top Coat
- Before applying color, apply a coat of Base Coat to protect your nails.
- After applying color, seal your manicure with a coat of Top Coat for a glossy finish and long-lasting wear.
Moisturize and protect
- Don’t neglect hydration! Massage your cuticles daily with a few drops of Cuticle Oil.
- Remember to protect your manicure from overexposure to water or chemicals by wearing gloves when doing household chores.
- A few days after your manicure, boost the vibrancy of your color by applying a coat of Color. A must-have for overworked and exposed hands, especially in spring and summer!
