Description

Prepare like a pro!

Professional nail file: 2 sides for gentle filing or more intense grit. Our professionals love it!

Effective Emollient : its gel-texture formula, 97% bio-sourced and enriched with glycerin, allows precise application all around the nail edge.

Cuticle pusher : made of stainless steel, it cleans very easily with alcohol and is the essential tool for professionals to achieve a perfect nail edge!

Prep file : designed with two grit types, the fine grit (Manucurist logo side) is ideal for fingernails and the coarser grit is perfect for toenails.

How to use the Nail Prep Set

Step 1: Shorten nails (if needed)
Use the coarser side of the white file (the side without the Manucurist logo) to shorten your nails. Without ever filing back and forth, start by filing the sides, then the "top" of the nail to shape evenly.

Step 2: Smooth the shape
Use the finer side of the white file (the side with the Manucurist logo) to smooth and finish shaping as desired.

Step 3: Soften the nail contour
Using the dropper, take some 97% bio-sourced emollient and apply it all around each nail contour. Leave on for 2 minutes.

Step 4: Push back cuticles
Use the stainless steel cuticle pusher to push back the nail contour, keeping the tip of the tool as parallel to the nail as possible. Generally, start with the rounded end, and finish removing any remaining dead skin with the straighter end.

Step 5: Prep the nail for polish application
Next, use the prep file to gently buff the surface of the nail in one direction.

👉 If you want to apply polish afterwards:

Step 6: Degrease the nail before application
Soak a cotton pad with remover to cleanse and degrease your nails before applying a Base Coat. Washing your hands is not recommended, as your nails may be too damp for the Base Coat to adhere properly.

👉 If you just want to enjoy your clean nails:

Step 6: Hydrate your nails
Wash your hands thoroughly and apply Green Oil, Complete Serum, or our Hand Cream.

Reviews

Good products - mediocre logistics

"I like the kit very much. The products are high quality, and the emollient is especially effective. The logistics experience, however, could be improved. I waited for a week without receiving any updates. Once I escalated the issue, the team responded immediately, which I appreciated. They also offered a goodwill discount on a future order."
