WE’VE GOT ONE COLOUR ON OUR MINDS, AND IT’S BURNING HOT
Let’s keep it classic. If “less is more” is your mantra, then you’ve clicked on the right tutorial. And if it’s going to be one colour, make it a true, rich, romantic red. There’s a certain lure to it – the colour of love, passion, strawberries, wine… whatever hue you choose, you’re tapping into centuries of nail trend history atop your fingertips. So, without further ado, here’s our step-by-step guide…
You will need: Express Nail Polish Remover Pot, Vitamin E Pen, SOS Pen, Back To Life Base Coat, a red polish of choice (we’ve picked our Just Kinda Bliss duo), Lacquer Lock Top Coat
- If you have any leftover polish on those digits (and let’s face it, if you’re a mani addict, you probably have), remove that paint with our Express Nail Polish Remover Pot. This manicure miracle is the perfect way to remove stubborn nail polish in seconds. Simply dip and twist each finger in the pot and see the polish disappear. We have just welcomed our Express Nail Polish Remover Pot for speedy pedicure removal too (plus, it's vegan!)
- Golden rule: to help your nails stay healthy, you need to nourish. That’s where the Vitamin E Pen comes in, to remove any excess and enrich your cuticles at the same time. This step is important as it replenishes dry cuticles with the vital nourishment needed to protect the nail bed.
- Now to demonstrate the multi-tasking properties of our SOS Pen. Use the top, curved end to push back your cuticles and neaten up any edges. Bet you didn’t realise it was such a must-have tool to have… well, now you do.
- More nourishing power comes in every coat of our Back To Life Base Coat. Always wear a base coat as it preps your nails pre any nail polish. This treatment creates a smooth, flawless canvas ensuring perfect application and longwearing results.
- Now for the colour of the moment: a bright, rich red. Take the polish of your choice (we’re using Nama Stay In Tonight from our Just Kinda Bliss duo), don’t overload your brush with polish as this will add more drying time. The key is to build up thin layers of paint. The patented brush is designed to hug the shape of your nail, allowing one sweep from the top of the nail bed to the tip. Repeat this step twice.
- To seal and protect your polish colour apply Lacquer Lock Top Coat. A revolutionary top coat that features sunlight curing technology, using natural UV rays to lock in your colour for extended wear for up to 14 days. The result? Brilliant shine and glossy nails. Wear over any polish to create a longwear result that is resistant to breakage and chipping.
- Finally, use the nib of the SOS Pen to touch up any paint smudges (we told you it’s an essential tool in your at-home nail kit) to ensure a flawless manicure!
