Prep & Glow Routine

Nail Preparation

1. Nail File: Use the white side of the file — the more abrasive side (the one without the Manucurist logo) — to shorten your nails. Avoid filing back and forth. Start by filing the sides, then shape the top edge of the nail to create a balanced look. Switch to the smoother side (the one with the Manucurist logo) to gently refine and perfect your desired shape.

2. Effective Cuticle Softener: Apply around the edge of each nail and let it sit for 2 minutes to soften the cuticles.

3. Pusher: Gently push back the cuticles, keeping the tool as parallel to the nail as possible. Start with the rounded end, then use the flatter edge to remove any remaining dead skin.

4. Nail Buffer: Lightly buff the surface of the nail in one direction only. Avoid using a back-and-forth motion.

Glossy Booster Duo

1. Glycolic Nail Exfoliator: Apply evenly to bare nails, then massage in until fully absorbed to gently exfoliate. The formula absorbs naturally — no need to rinse or wipe off.

2. Light Pink Side of the Nail Buffer: Gently polish the nail surface in one consistent direction, perpendicular to the nail, to smooth ridges and minimize imperfections.

3. Bright Pink Side of the Nail Buffer: Buff the nail surface to close the keratin layers and reveal a high-gloss shine.
