Whether it’s for a grad dance, a wedding, or any other big occasion, nails with neutral colours are all the rage. Here’s how you can get a perfectly natural manicure that’s as versatile as it is elegant.
Get ready!
First, file your nails to the desired shape using the right tools for the job.
Then, gently push back your cuticles using a clean cuticle pusher. To make this job easier, soak your fingernails in lukewarm water for a few minutes to soften the skin before you begin.
The essential accessory
For a perfect manicure, one tool is a must: an UV LED lamp to “cure” liquid resins and gel polishes.
The manicure
Once your nails are ready, you can begin the manicure itself. Here’s how:
- Have your UV LED lamp, gel prostheses, liquid resin and neutral gel varnish nearby;
- Apply the liquid resin to your nails, stick on a gel prosthesis of the same width as your nail, then cure under the lamp;
- File your nail extension to the desired shape;
- Apply the neutral-coloured 3-in-1 gel varnish to your nail and cure again.
The final touch
For a perfect manicure with healthy nails, apply a little cuticle oil to the base of each nail to moisturize and protect your cuticles while promoting nail growth.
