[Olive & June’s] Toenail Guide and Nail Strengthener help develop the optimal surface for polish to stay with.”
After prepping your nails as well as cuticles, choose your 2 favorite different tones and also choose your base and also your suggestion color. Next Off, Van Iderstine says to apply two layers of the base shade and also let them dry.

If you’re attempting your hand at nail art at home, however you can not seem to get that “simply left the nail hair salon” look, Van Iderstine states it’s not constantly concerning the nails themselves. Sometimes, it’s as simple as “keeping your follicles as moisturized as feasible.” Other times, it’s just about making the effort to focus on “all the little details,” like cleaning up any stray gloss. This is particularly valuable if your nails get on the smaller sized side. “We like to utilize our Clean Up Brush to get a truly wonderful as well as neat line at the follicle– that’s what makes it actually look like you simply stepped out of the beauty parlor,” she says. “All the tools you need are in the Peanut System.” She additionally suggests reapplying a leading layer every few days post-manicure “to include luster and protect your nails versus chips.”
