For
your best manicure or pedicure yet, here’s what we recommend:
1. Start
off with clean nails. We recommend cleaning off your nail plate with Strengthening Lacquer Remover to remove any oil, residue, or leftover polish.
2. Apply a
base coat of your choice.
§ If your nails need strengthening, use NailHardener & Base Coat.
§ If you’re after a plump, gel-like base, use Gel Genius Base Coat.
§ If your nails need smoothing, use Fortifying Ridge Filler.
3. Once
your base coat is completely dry, apply a thin, even coat of lakur to
each nail. If you’d like, follow with a second coat once the first layer has
dried.
Make sure to cap the edge by swiping across after painting or making sure to pull
the lakur brush over the edge, ensuring full coverage. (This method helps
prevent chipping and tip wear!)
4. Lock
everything in with a top coat of your choice. Again, make sure to cap the edge
of each nail for maximum wear.
§ For a shiny, nail-shielding finish, use Protective Top Coat.
§ For a gel-like finish and prolonged wear, use Gel Genius Top Coat.
§ For a flawless matte finish, use Protective Matte Coat.
5. Once
your nails are completely dry, apply a few drops of Nourishing Cuticle Oil
to each nail. Or, if you’re in a pinch, apply Accelerating Drying Oil to
help speed up drying time while giving your nails a nourishing treat.
To help further prolong your manicure/pedicure while caring
for your nails, we recommend adding the following steps to your evening
routine:
- Re-apply
a thin layer of your preferred top coat to each nail every few days or as
needed.
- Once
your nails have completely dried, apply Restorative Nail Cream or Nourishing Cuticle Oil to each nail to replenish and revive.
Finish off with an application of 2-in-1 Hand & Nail Treatment to give your hands the ultimate TLC.
