Step 1: Remove
Remove any previous polish with Nailmatic Lavender Nail Polish Remover, a plant-based nail polish remover that doesn't dry out your cuticles!
-
Step 2 & 3: Clip & File
Clip and gently file your nails to the shape that you desire.
-
Step 4 & 5: Conceal
Softly buff the top layer of your nails to create a better grip for the polish. Relax and soak your hands in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes.
-
Step 6: Cuticle Oil
Apply a drop of Nailmatic Precious Oil - Nails & Cuticle Care at the edge of each nail and massage in with your fingertips. Or you can also use a cuticle pusher tool to gently push back cuticles.
-
Step 7: Moisturize
Apply M-61 Hydraboost Hand Cream all over your hands to replenish moisture.

Love the high shine, glossy look and the longevity of gel nails? Try Deborah Lippmann Gel Lab Pro Set that includes a top and base coat, with no need for UV lamps!
Apply a thin layer of base coat.Expert Tip: Remember to remove any residue left on the nails using a cotton round. This ensures your base coat goes on smoothly!
-
Step 10: Color
Choose a color from Deborah Lippmann (I'm using It's Raining Men) and apply two thin layers.
Expert Tip: Take an old angled eyeliner brush and dip it in some nail polish remover. Use it to clean up the edges of the nail to give that perfect manicured look

Step 11: Top Coat
Finish off with a top coat!
Giving No Makeup Makeup Advice
-
Step 1: Skin Prep
For a natural look, make sure your skin is hydrated and ready for makeup application.
-
Step 2: Complexion
To naturally enhance your skin, use something lightweight like Lune+Aster RealGlow® Skin Tint as your base rather than a fuller coverage foundation.
-
Step 3: Conceal
If you prefer a little more coverage under eyes or to cover blemishes, add Trish McEvoy Instant Eye Lift and/or NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer to target those areas.
-
Step 4: Set
To make sure your concealer stays put ALL day, use Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder and a medium-size fluffy brush with a very light hand to apply the powder around the eyes.
-
Step 5: Eyeshadow
Use a shadow stick like Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Metallic Taupe (instead of your typical powder eyeshadow) to effortlessly define your eyes. Start at the lash line and work your way up to the crease. Blend out with your fingers—no need for a brush!
-
Step 6: Curl Lashes
Do not skip this step! Use Surratt Relevée Lash Curler to curl your lashes. It will make a huge difference to give your lashes a lift.
-
Step 7: Mascara
Work on one eye at a time to build and lengthen lashes before the mascara dries. Don't forget the lower lashes!
Expert Tip: Use the tip of the Chantecaille Longest Lash Faux Cils Mascara applicator for more precision and to separate lashes.
-
Step 8: Bronzer
Use NARS Bronzing Powder to give some warmth to your skin.
Expert Tip: Apply bronzer in the shape of a backward E, starting at the forehead. Work your way down to the cheeks and jawline.
-
Step 9: Brows
Use the brow gel Lune+Aster One-Step Brow (instead of a brow pencil) to give natural definition to brows.
-
Step 10: Lips
Finish with RMS Beauty Lipshine or sheer gloss to complete this "no makeup" look!
