Our tips to extend your white manicure
A nice white manicure goes first and foremost through a good routine of nail preparation and varnish application. The guarantee for you to keep bright white nails as long as possible. The key steps for an optimal result are:
Prepare your nails
Prerequisites for any new manicure, the nail preparation is a set of simple but essential care. The purpose of the project is to:
- Line your nails to give them a clear and harmonious form. Short or long nails, square shape, squoval or almond, this is the time to make your choice!
- Rumble and push back your cuticles Then polish the nail surface with a preparation file to open the keratin scales and optimize the adhesion of the varnish layers.
- Clean the nail surface with a mild solvent or degreaser.
Apply your varnish in 4 layers
4 layers, this is the secret for a long manicure and perfect rendering:
- Apply a protective base layer adapted to the chosen varnish (Base Coat Green™ or Base Vitamin Coat Green Flash™).
- Put it down. two-layer colour and let dry well between each, air free for the varnish Green™ , LED lamp for varnish Green Flash™ .

You can then massage your white nails every day with this ultra-flavouring oil. An effective boost to preserve the shine and good hold of your white varnish.
Preparation, application, hydration, the B.A.BA of a brilliant and durable manicure.
We like white varnish for its luminous power but also for its texture effects. Flouty, milky, mirror or glittering, it modulates, superimposes, reinvents itself. A base, yes - but above all a starting point! While it remains synonymous with timeless manicure signature, white also offers an infinite number of creative possibilities for different nail art techniques. It is a palette alone, which we like to explore freely
