Tips for a long-lasting manicure

To keep your manicure looking perfect from the first day of your holiday to the last, it's all about the prep. Here’s how to get your nails ready before polish application:

Start by filing your nails to achieve your desired shape.

Next, take care of your cuticles: apply a drop of Effective Emollient, then gently push them back with a wooden stick or cuticle pusher.

Lightly buff the nail surface with our Prep File to create a smooth base.

Then apply polish using the 4-step method in this order:

One coat of protective Base Coat (Green™ or Green Flash™)

Two coats of your favorite Green™ or Green Flash™ colour

Finish with Top Coat Sunshine for Green™, or Green Flash™ Top Coat for long wear with Green Flash™ Gel Polish.

This is the only way to maximize wear time and get a flawless finish!

Summer is all about celebrating the good things in life—sunshine, fun, and of course, colour! Picture it: feet in warm sand, hands glowing with vivid hues that catch the sunlight… This is the season when your nails reflect your vibe, your style, and your mood. It’s also the best time to try playful, feel-good nail art thanks to our seasonal colour palette. And to make it last all the way to September, don’t forget: switch to a summer-proof nail care routine. Just like that, you’re ready to show off your nails all season long.
