I use two coats of the ridge filler letting it dry between coats and then use the base coat before the polish and after it dries I use the top coat……….using thinner coats of polish is better and adding another top coat after a few days helps the mani last longer. I LOVE the Cherry Cola color and hope it isn’t discontinued.

Disappointing
I love this colour but I can't get it to dry without blistering up. Once you do more than one coat is bubbles and I've waited ages between coats to make sure its dry. Not good enough for a £20 polish.

We'd love to help! Bubbling can typically happen when coats are applied a little too thickly or when the polish is shaken rather than gently rolled before use. Thin, even layers with proper dry time between coats deliver the smoothest, most flawless finish. Our Customer Service team will reach out to learn more about your routine so we can help you get the beautiful finish this shade is designed to deliver.

Impossible to make it look nice
I have no idea how they managed to get the pretty pictures for the sale of the #10 colour because I've given it a go many times already just with my dominant (right) hand and even then, there's no way I can make it not look patchy and unprofessional. The colour doesn't settle well even on one coat and I can't imagine doing 2 or 3 of this mess on both hands. It's too bad because it has a lot of potential. If the colour saturation was a little less, maybe this look would be achievable.

We'd love to help! Perfecting Nail Veil #10 is a sheer, buildable formula, and thin, even coats applied in one direction help the color settle smoothly without patchiness. We recommend starting with a very light first coat to build a smooth base before adding more color. Our Customer Service team will reach out to walk through your application routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply Perfecting Nail Veil?
Apply Perfecting Nail Veil directly to clean, bare nails, no base or top coat needed. One coat gives a sheer wash of color, and building to two or three coats increases opacity, depending on how much coverage you want in your final look.
- Start bare. Skip the base coat so the treatment actives can absorb directly into the nail.
- One to two coats for an everyday sheer tint, with a third layered on for more color payoff.
- Self-leveling formula dries down on its own to a smooth, glossy finish without extra buffing.
- Top coat optional, not required, but welcome for extra shine or longer wear.
Because the formula is treatment-first, applying it straight to bare nails is what lets the color and the care ingredients work together from the very first coat.
How long does Perfecting Nail Veil last, and how is the wear time?
Perfecting Nail Veil is a one-step color-and-care treatment, and pairing it with a top coat is the easiest way to extend how long it wears. Because it's treatment-forward rather than a hard, high-build lacquer, wear varies more with nail growth and daily wear than with a fixed number of days.
- Solo wear is designed to look good worn alone, without base or top coat.
- Extended wear comes from adding a top coat, which boosts both shine and staying power.
- Best refreshed, not redone. A quick top-up coat can revive the sheer look before it needs full removal.
Whether it's worn alone or topped off, the formula is built to flex with however light or long-wearing you want the look to be.
How is a Perfecting Nail Veil different from nail polish?
Perfecting Nail Veil is a one-step, treatment-and-color hybrid that work to help rejuvenate the nails, while traditional nail polish is built purely for color and typically needs a base coat and top coat to look and wear its best. Perfecting Nail Veil applies straight onto bare nails and skips both of those extra steps entirely.
- One-step routine. No base coat or top coat required, unlike a full lakur application.
- Sheer and buildable, not fully opaque. One coat gives a natural wash of color rather than solid, full coverage.
- Treatment-first, not just color. Biotin, AHAs, and Florium Complex work on the nail during wear, which a standard polish formula isn't designed to do.
- Faster to apply and remove, since there's no multi-step system to build up or take down.
For anyone who wants a hint of color with less routine and some built-in nail care, a nail veil solves a different problem than reaching for a full lakur look.
How does Perfecting Nail Veil compare to the Illuminating Nail Concealer?
Both are one-step kur treatments with no base or top coat required, but they're built for different goals. Perfecting Nail Veil is a sheer, buildable tint across a range of shades, with biotin and AHAs doing the conditioning work. Illuminating Nail Concealer is built to brighten and color-correct, using optical brighteners to counter yellowing and dullness.
- Perfecting Nail Veil: for a natural wash of color, with exfoliating AHAs supporting nail growth.
- Illuminating Nail Concealer: for brightening and neutralizing discoloration, with a pro-contour brush for precise cuticle application.
Choosing between them comes down to the goal: color for color's sake, or correcting a specific tone issue underneath.
Who is Perfecting Nail Veil best for?
Perfecting Nail Veil is best for anyone who wants a natural, your-nails-but-better look without a multi-step manicure routine. It suits people who prefer a sheer wash of color over full opacity, and who want their polish to double as a treatment between more intensive manicures or gel sessions.
- Low-maintenance color wearers who want a quick, one-step application.
- Between-mani or between-gel routines, when nails need a break with a hint of color.
- Anyone building a conditioning habit into their color routine.
It's a less obvious fit for anyone chasing full, opaque coverage in one coat, since that's better suited to a lakur and top coat combination.
Is Perfecting Nail Veil good for damaged, weak, or peeling nails?
Perfecting Nail Veil is formulated with alpha hydroxy acids, biotin, and Florium Complex® working together to help support the look of healthier, more resilient nails during wear. AHAs work as gentle exfoliants on the nail plate, biotin helps fortify, and Florium Complex® helps nourish and moisturize.
It's not a treatment for underlying nail damage, but it's formulated to support the appearance of healthier, better-conditioned nails alongside a wash of color, rather than sealing nails off from care ingredients the way a standard opaque polish would.
