What are the steps of a manicure?
Give yourself a professional manicure at home by following these steps:

•Remove any old nail polish using a non-acetone nail polish remover.
•Thoroughly wash your hands with warm water and soap.
•Scrub your nails to remove any dirt trapped under them.
•Trim and shape your nails using a nail file until you have your preferred shape.
•Apply a layer of base coat to protect your nails.
•Apply two layers of nail polish, allowing enough time for each layer to dry.
•Finish with a top coat and allow to dry thoroughly.

Can I wear nail polish all the time?
It’s a good idea to give your nails a regular break from polish. Wearing polish consistently can cause your nails to become brittle and break more easily, potentially exposing you to nail fungus and other unwanted bacteria. We recommend intermittently going polish-free for healthy, strong nails.

What’s the difference between nail polish and press-on nails?
Nail polish is a type of paint that you apply directly to your natural nails for a pop of color, and it comes off easily with nail polish remover. Press-on nails, however, are artificial nails that you glue over your natural nails. They’re a bit more durable and tend to be harder to remove than regular nail polish.
