Looking for the ideal manicure routine to get stronger, more beautiful nails? Grab a bottle of Hard to Resist nail strengthener, some apricot cuticle oil, your favourite Essie nail polish, and a protective polish topcoat.

Then, just follow these steps to get a strong, flawless manicure:

Step 1: Strengthener

Apply two coats of Essie's Hard to Resist strengthening polish to your bare nails. Make sure you let the first coat dry fully before applying the second.

Step 2: Cuticle oil

Apply a small amount of Essie's apricot cuticle oil to your cuticles to moisturize and nourish them fully for a healthy look. Once the oil has soaked in and your nails and fingers are completely dry, you'll have the ideal foundation for any manicure.

Step 3: Polish

Apply two or three coats of your favourite colour polish to each nail. Again, let your nails dry thoroughly between coats.

Step 4: The finishing coat

Pick your finish: matte, glossy or shimmery, anything is possible! Then apply a thin layer of your preferred protective polish to your nails. Let them dry and you're done!
