Topic Tuesday: Essential Nail Care

For me I like to use Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover and a cuticle pusher tool.

I use Leighton Denny Precision Corrector to fix any mistakes.

My topcoat of choice is by CosmicAuria, which I've put in this old Essie bottle as I like the brush.

Finally I use a cuticle oil, this one is A Certain Becca Lacquer in Wood Sage and Sea Salt.

   

Nail Art: Matte Crocus

Whenever I wear a flakie polish I always have to try it matte;

Flakie Polish | Paradox Polish - Crocus Sativus Saffron
