📏 What steps do I need to follow for a Green™ manicure?Updated 6 months ago

The nail prep step is a very important way to ensure your polish lasts: 

1) File your nails into your preferred shape using our emery board. Use the fine grain (Manucurist logo) for your fingernails and the coarser grain for your toenails.

2) Push back your cuticles. Apply our Cuticle Remover to the nail contour. Leave it to work for 2 minutes, then push back your cuticles with a cuticle pusher. 

3) File the surface of your nails using our buffer. This is designed to smooth, polish and open up the nail plate to help the polish adhere better.

4) Remove all traces of oil and/or impurities using our Nail Oil Remover to help the polish adhere better and last longer.

Then apply your Green™ polish by following the steps below. Carry out each step on all 10 fingers before moving on to the next step: 

1) Apply a thin layer of Base Coat immediately after the Nail Oil Remover.

2) Apply 2 thin coats of colour once the Base Coat is dry. Wait a little while between each coat for it to dry slightly.

3) Apply 1 thin layer of Top Coat.

4) Apply 1 Quick-Dry Drop to the middle of each nail after applying the Top Coat.

Apply the polish in thin coats and wait 1-2 minutes between each coat!
