Nailed It! For achieving that envious manicure at home we have got together our top tips and lacquers…

  • Remove and clean your nails of old polish and impurities, Buff the nails lightly to remove the excess oil generated, Apply a good basecoat, Apply 2 coats of the nail polish very thinly and astly, apply a good top coat.

N.b. Make sure the nails are oil free before you apply the basecoat and the nail polish should be applied very thinly.
