Prep & Shape
Every flawless manicure starts with shape. Glass tools, a precision nipper and a cuticle pusher to refine the free edge and keep cuticles neat, the way a nail artist would.
Glass files are a game changer. This set shapes, buffs and pushes back cuticles, and glass seals the edge so nails don't split or peel. Easy to clean and reuse.
Manucurist Glass Nail Prep Set: Nail File, Buffer & Cuticle Pusher
Sharp, precise and easy to control. Only trim hangnails and lifted skin, never live cuticle. Push back first, then nip what's lifted.
Sally Hansen Nip 'Em Neat Cuticle Nipper (1/2" Jaw)
Small tool, big difference. Push back cuticles once they're soft (after a shower is perfect), then use the other end to clean around the nail.
ULTA Beauty Collection Dual Ended Cuticle Pusher
Cuticle Care
Every oil here is one I personally use for nail growth and skin health. Soft, healthy cuticles make every manicure look more polished. Oil daily: at home, at your desk or on the go.
A staple in my own routine for nail growth and soft cuticles. Jojoba, almond oil and vitamin E keep nails strong but flexible. Massage it in daily.
CND SolarOil Nail & Cuticle Conditioner
I use this one myself for nail growth and cuticle health on the go. It rolls on in one swipe, no mess, and fits in any bag.
Essie On A Roll Apricot Cuticle Oil
Part of my own routine for nail growth and nourished skin. Shea, apricot and almond oils soften cuticles fast. Brush it on twice a day.
L'Occitane Strengthening Shea Nail & Cuticle Oil
Strengthen & Perfect
For nails that need a little backup. A cult strengthener and a keratin treatment for weak, peeling nails, plus a sheer concealer for days when bare nails should still look finished.
The classic fix for weak, peeling nails. Wear it alone or under color to help stop chipping and splitting.
OPI Nail Envy Original Nail Strengthener
If your nails peel, start here. Massage this keratin treatment into bare nails twice a day. CND reports 80% less peeling after 4 weeks.
CND RescueRXx Daily Keratin Treatment
Your nails, but better. One or two sheer coats blur yellowing and dullness for a clean, polished look on no-color days.
Londontown KUR Illuminating Nail Concealer
Lock In The Look
Base, color, seal. A longwear base coat, a glassy fast-dry top coat and a strengthening hard coat to make your manicure last.
Want your color to last longer? Start here. One coat of this base, two coats of color, then seal with top coat.
Essie Here To Stay Longwear Base Coat
A cult favorite for good reason. One coat over wet polish dries fast to a glassy, chip-resistant shine.
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
A drugstore classic that works. Wear it alone on bare nails or over color for a hard, high-shine, chip-fighting finish.
Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails
Remove Gently
How you take polish off matters as much as how you put it on. Gentle, acetone-free removal that leaves nails feeling cared for, not stripped.
How you take polish off matters. This acetone-free remover with almond oil and vitamin E lifts polish without that dry, stripped feeling.
Manucurist Green Acetone-Free Nail Polish Remover
Fast and acetone-free. Castor oil and natural-origin ingredients take polish off in seconds without drying out your nails.
Manucurist Express Remover
Hands Worth Showing Off
Every cream here is one I personally use for healthy skin and nails. Soft hands make every manicure look better. Rich, bestselling creams and an overnight mask to keep hands and cuticles soft between appointments.
I use this myself to keep my hands, nails and cuticles healthy. Rich shea butter that softens even very dry hands. Rub a little extra into your cuticles.
L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream
One I personally use for healthy, soft skin around my nails. Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, non-greasy, and the cap doubles as a hand massager.
Rare Beauty Find Comfort Niacinamide Hydrating Hand Cream
I personally use this as an overnight reset for my skin and cuticles. Apply before bed, add cotton gloves, wake up to softer hands.
PAUME Overnight Hand and Foot Hydration Mask
I use this one for both nail and skin health. Grape seed oil and shea butter, sinks in fast, never greasy. Vegan, too.
