How To Do Summer Coral Nails at Home
Giving yourself the perfect summer coral nails at home is too easy not to try.
A few things you will need are clippers, cuticle nippers or mani scissors, file, buffer, base, and top coats, and your coral nail polish.
You will start by gently pushing the cuticles back and trimming any excess skin that is sticking up, being careful not to overcut the cuticle.
Next, you will want to cut and/or file the nails to the shape and length you are happy and comfortable with. Followed by a light buffing of the free edge and the base of the nail to eliminate any bumps, ridges, and sharp points.
After your at-home manicure and nail reshaping, you can apply some acetone to the nail to cleanse off any oils and begin polishing your base coat.
Finally, in long solid strokes from cuticle to free edge, polish the coral nail color.
Apply up to two coats and let it dry.
Apply your favorite shiny protective top coat and you are all done!
That’s a wrap. We have broken down why we love the summer coral nails look and shared over 30 ways you can wear this bright polish. We also discussed how to get the look in the comfort of your own home.
Now all you have to do is enjoy them!
