Plant-based Nail Polish Gold glitter nail polish - Lucia

Application Tips for a Perfect Glitter Manicure with Lucia

1. Prepare your nails: A good manicure always starts with clean, well-shaped nails. Remove any previous polish or impurities using a nail polish remover. File them to your preferred shape (square, rounded, almond) and gently push back the cuticles for a neat base.
2. Apply a protective base: Before applying Lucia, don’t forget to apply a clear base coat. This will protect your nails from pigments and allow for better polish adherence. The base also prevents staining and extends the duration of your manicure.
3. Apply Lucia in multiple thin layers: The secret to a successful glitter manicure is to apply thin layers of polish. Start with a first coat of Lucia and let it dry for a few minutes. Then, apply a second coat to intensify the glitter effect and ensure good coverage. For an even more spectacular effect, you can add a third coat.
4. Smooth the glitter with a top coat: For a perfect finish and long-lasting wear, apply a clear top coat after your Lucia polish. This seals the glitter and gives a smooth, shiny effect to your nails, preventing the glitter from chipping off over the days. Plus, the top coat extends the wear of your manicure for up to 5 days!
5. Allow to dry well between each step: Patience is key for a successful manicure! Be sure to let each layer of polish dry completely before applying the next. This helps avoid smudges and ensures a more durable manicure.
6. Tip for easy removal: Glitter polishes can be more challenging to remove. For easy removal, soak a cotton pad in nail polish remover and place it on the nail for 5 to 10 minutes. The glitter will come off more easily.

Follow these steps, and you will achieve a perfect, radiant, and durable glitter manicure with your Lucia polish!
