I never usually opt for a paint-free manicure, but since shutting my hand in my car door back in September, I haven't really had a whole lot of choice. Since one of my nails is on it's way to falling off, I've been perfecting my polished but polish-free nails, and I think I've gotten the hang of it.
I start by using my StyleFile to shape and even out the shape of my nails. My nails are pretty weak, they're always breaking and flaking, so I tend to keep them short now, it's just easier that way. I don't really use the StyleFile to it's full potential, I just use it as a standard nail file, so I don't think I'd repurchase it, but it gets the job done.
The main reason I normally won't be spotted without polish is because I feel like my nails look dull and scruffy. Enter stage left, the Revlon Shine Addict Nail Buffer, my latest beauty gadget discovery. This is a double headed buffing tool, which enhances the natural shine of your nails, leaving them beautifully glossy and healthy looking. As someone who suffers a lot with my nails flaking at the edges, this has been a miracle worker, making my nails look glossy and healthy in just a few seconds. I'm a total convert.
And the final step? Lashings of Jurlique Lavender Hand Cream to keep my paws soft and hydrated, despite the cold weather.
Are you a fan of the polish free mani?
