Pearl Tips
Taking away the mess that can sometimes come with nail polish, these OPI press-on nails really are as easy as 1, 2, 3. Before adding any glue, cover your natural nail with each press-on until you find your perfect size. Lightly buff your own nails and remove debris using the Prep to xPress pad. Gently push back cuticles with the tool given and then add a small dot of glue on the false nail. Adhere it to your own, hold for five seconds, and repeat until you’re done!
Shell Chic
If you’re after a more noticeably iridescent shine than the others, this beautifully pigmented polish is the one for you. To achieve the best results using this polish, pair it with the base coat and sunshine top coat from the same non-toxic, vegan and cruelty free Green range by Manicurist. No LED light required, simply air- dry and get ready to wow.
