How-To:
- Start with a meticulous manicure, perfecting cuticles and filing the nails into a medium, short natural shape.
- Apply revitalizing cream to the top of the hands and fingers to nourish and protect the skin.
- Use a dime sized amount of hand cream to pamper the hands with a massage.
- Prep the nails with 90% alcohol to remove any oils and contaminates for proper polish adhesion.
- Start polishing with a thin layer of base coat to help smooth the nails and prepare them for color.
- Apply two even, thin coats of red color, and let them dry for a minute or so.
- Finish the polish with a thick coat of gel top coat to create a rich luxurious high gloss shine.
- Finished off the manicure by rehydrating the cuticles using cuticle oil to keep the skin as rich as the nails.
