Transcript

They're saying that bare nails is the new status symbol. But I've been doing it for years and here are my natural nail essentials. And my favorites at home natural manicure. A simple nail look goes with everything. I always start off with clipping my nails. Just an ordinary nail clipper. I like the big ones. And I just use a metal tool like this to push back my cuticles and then clip it off. I heard that glass nail files are actually better for you. So I do really like this glass nail file by Manucurist. And of course, I always like having a short manicure. Now for polishes, I love so many different colors. But I always gravitate back towards something that's kind of like a no makeup makeup look but for my nails. And I love the Manucurist Active Glow line from Manucurist as well. It's a really light wash of color. These are 3-in-1 nail polishes, so you don't really require any top coat or base coat. And that's exactly what I have on. One layer of this and that's it. Which is raspberry. You can never go wrong with red. I love Essie's Gel Couture Bubbles Only. Chanel LA BASE CAMÉLIA is also really beautiful on its own. And it has nourishing ingredients inside. So they actually heal your nail plate. Speaking of which, I also love the Manucurist Active Smooth. I had a lot of indent on my nails. This really helps smooth it all out. And then for nail care itself, I love the Manucurist cuticle serum. Also by Manucurist. I find it's really healing. Cuticle oil, you guys know I've been married to my L'Occitane one. This one's the best. Hand cream, I'm not too fussed as long as it does the job. And I've been using this one by Malin+Goetz. It's their Vitamin B5 Hand Treatment.
