FAQ
Which shade is best for a minimalist manicure?
101 Glass is the most translucent choice; 212 Nougat Beige and 705 Ballerina Toeshoes give a little more visible color while staying understated.
How can I make nail polish last longer?
Use thin coats, cap the free edge, avoid flooding the cuticle and refresh the top coat after a few days.
Should I choose sheer or more opaque color?
Choose sheer for a clean, forgiving look. Choose 102 Bold Glass when you want the same glossy direction with more coverage.
