Nail Care 101
Prep. Paint. Protocol.
Because even the boldest shades need a solid foundation. Let’s break it down:
📂 PREP — Set the Record Straight
Before you polish, you file:
Cleanse your nails with soap and water. Remove any old polish and oils with a gentle acetone-free remover.
File & shape your nails in one direction to avoid splits. Round, square, almond — pick your protocol.
Push back cuticles gently (don’t cut — this isn’t a hostile takeover).
Buff lightly to smooth the nail plate — no over-buffing! We’re not erasing evidence, just prepping the surface.
🖋️ PAINT — Color with Confidence
Base coat is mandatory. Think of it as your legal disclaimer — it protects the natural nail and ensures longer wear.
Apply polish in thin, even coats. Two coats are standard procedure. Cure after each coat.
Cap the tip. Swipe the free edge to seal in the deal.
📎 PROTOCOL — Finish Like a Pro
Top coat = your final ruling. It locks in shine, prevents chips, and keeps things glossy and official.
Hydrate cuticles with oil or balm — it’s the executive aftercare you deserve.
💅 Pro Tip: Don’t rush the process. Filing a flawless finish takes patience — and a good protocol.
