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.
