Achieving a long-lasting, salon-quality manicure at home is easier than ever with Adorn’s toxin-free, Australian made Quick Dry
Toxin Free Nail Varnish. Our Founder, Briony, shares her step-by-step tips to ensure your manicure stays flawless for up to a week. Follow these essential steps to keep your nails looking gorgeous and chip-free.
Step 1: Start with Clean Nails
Make sure your nails are free from dirt and dust to avoid imperfections in your nail polish application. Clean nails provide a smooth canvas for your manicure.
Step 2: Prepare Your Cuticles and Nails
Gently push back your cuticles and file or buff your nails as needed. This step ensures your nails have an even surface, allowing the polish to adhere better and last longer.
Step 3: Apply Naturally Soothing Skin Barrier Balm for Mess-Free Application
If you struggle with shaky hands, this tip is a game-changer. Apply a thin coat of Adorn Cosmetics' naturally Soothing Skin Barrier Balm using a cotton bud around the cuticles and on the skin surrounding the nail. Be careful to avoid the nail surface. This creates a protective barrier, preventing polish from staining your skin.
Step 4: Use a Topcoat as a Base
Prep your nails with Adorn's clear topcoat nail varnish. This not only strengthens your nails and prevents staining but also provides a smoother base for your colour polish.
Step 5: Apply Three Coats of Colour
To achieve a flawless, even coverage that lasts longer, apply three coats of Adorn Cosmetics' Quick Dry Toxin Free Nail Varnish. Allow 1-2 minutes of drying time between each coat. This technique not only enhances the colour's vibrancy but also significantly extends the polish's durability.
Step 6: Finish with a Clear Topcoat
Once your colour coats are touch-dry, apply a layer of clear nail varnish. This step seals in the colour and adds a glossy finish, making your manicure more resilient to chipping.
Step 7: Protect Your Manicure with Avocado + Ylang Ylang Natural Cuticle Oil
Avoiding bumps and knocks after a manicure is challenging. Briony’s innovative tip involves using Adorn Cosmetics' natural Avocado + Ylang Ylang Natural Cuticle Oil. Once your nails are touch-dry, apply a drop of oil to each nail, focusing on the cuticle area. Gently wipe the oil downwards over the nail. This creates a light protective film that helps prevent minor knocks from ruining your fresh manicure.
