The Naked Manicure
Natural Nails
Embracing the natural look, the naked manicure is totally on trend, with natural nails overtaking gel and acrylic manicures, which can cause damage over time.
Step One
First, strengthen nails with Mavala Scientifique K+ £15.70, Mavala.co.uk which helps harden soft nails to avoid breaking and splitting.
Step Two
Protect the nails with a base coat to improve the staying power of nail colour and protect the nail plate – try Mavala’s 002 Base Coat £13.65, Mavala.co.uk
Step Three
Choose a go-to nude shade to complete the naked manicure. Chic, minimalist and goes with all your outfits. (Try: Mavala Velvet, Rose Shell, Sapporo £5.20 each Mavala.co.uk)
