Shape your nails
Use the nail file to shape your nails to your desired length and style. Follow the natural shape of your nails for a more polished look.
- 3
Apply cuticle remover
Apply a small amount of cuticle remover to the base of each nail and allow it to sit for a few minutes to soften the cuticles.
- 4
Push back cuticles
Using a cuticle pusher or an orange stick, gently push back the softened cuticles to reveal more of the nail bed. Be careful not to damage the nail or surrounding skin.
- 5
Moisturize cuticles
After pushing back the cuticles, apply cuticle oil to each nail to nourish the cuticles and prevent dryness.
- 6
Buff the nails
Using the nail buffer, gently buff the surface of each nail to create a smooth, shiny finish. Be cautious not to over-buff, which can weaken the nails.

Moisturize hands
Finish by applying hand moisturizer to your hands, ensuring to massage it into the skin and nails to keep them hydrated and soft.
