Inside Secrets for Perfect Nails

Nail Power!

Top manicurists choose nail colors for both the shade and the finish. But that doesn’t mean they can find one polish to fit the bill. Instead of using what’s in front of their fingertips, salon pros get creative and layer shades for a tailor-made manicure. Now that you know the secret, try these inside guidelines to make a new nail look that everyone will want… but only you will have!

1. Tone down high-intensity shades by topping them off with one coat of a sheer shade in a cream or pearl finish. You’ll mute that intense nail color and give it a fresh new finish.

2. Love sheer colors but wish they were full coverage? You can make it work—if you back it up. Before you put on the sheer, prep with one coat of full-coverage white nail color, then follow with that sheer shade.
