SHAPE

Clip 90% into the desired shape and file the last 10% of the shape.

PREP

Remove old polish and gently push back your cuticles with your thumb. Carefully buff away excess skin and smooth any ridges or peels in light, circular motions. Dip every nail (again!) in the Remover Pot before painting.

POPPY + PAINT

Anchor your arm and hand on a flat surface. Paint in 2-3 thin coats. Your first coat should be streaky! Let each coat dry for at least 5-10 minutes before you apply the next coat. Any mistakes? Your Clean Up Brush (dipped in the Remover Pot) will fix any stray polish that you want gone.

TOP COAT

Apply a thin layer of your Super Glossy Top Coat to make your mani last.

HYDRATE

Once your nails are dry, apply 2-3 clicks of Cuticle Serum every day to your cuticles and sides of your nails.
