Our tips for a top-notch manicure
It almost goes without saying: a successful manicure always starts with careful preparation. Here are a few key steps for flawless nails and longer wear.
Prepare your nails before applying colour
Before applying your nail polish, make sure to clean and file your nails. Remove any previous polish residue with a gentle nail polish remover and lightly buff their surface with a preparation file for better colour adhesion.
Use the Mani-helper and the correcting pen for a “like a pro” application
Our latest accessory? The Mani-helper applicator, designed to make nail polish application easier. It fits onto the cap of all our bottles and offers a better grip for neat, precise application. We love it! And in case of a little overflow, the corrector pen is your ally for a flawless finish worthy of a nail salon.
Moisturise your nails for longer wear
Finally, don’t forget hydration, essential for healthy nails. Before and after applying nail polish, apply a few drops of Green Oil, our ultra-nourishing oil for nails and cuticles. The Perfecting Concentrate also deeply nourishes and strengthens them.
Whether you love soft pastel shades or bright, bold hues, March is the perfect time to give your manicure a fresh boost. Take the time to prep your nails with care, choose the shade that reflects your mood and dare to try unexpected combinations.
