Nails: colour, care and creative finishes

Bring an at-home nail routine together with nail supplies for shaping, colour, press-ons and finishing details. Choose a nail set for a coordinated result or select individual pieces to create your own combination.

Start with clean, shaped nails

Use nail files and tools to prepare the length and edge. Clean away dust and follow the preparation directions for the product you plan to apply. Choose nail polish for painted colour, press on nails for a ready-made shape or a nail set for multiple pieces in one pack. Removal is part of nail care, so follow the recommended method.

Create an at-home nail routine

A complete nails routine starts with shaping, followed by colour or enhancements, then careful removal when it is time for a change. Keep nail supplies together so files, clippers, polish and remover are easy to find. If you use a nail set, check whether it contains decorative pieces, adhesives or tools and follow the enclosed directions. Rotating between nail polish and press-ons gives you different looks without using the same application method every time. Start with nail clippers, a file and buffer for shaping, then add the finish you enjoy most. Nail polish creates painted colour, press on nails offer ready-made shape and art, and a nail set can bundle several pieces together. Include the correct remover and any application tools required. Keeping nail supplies in one container makes it easier to see what is available and prevents files, tips and polish bottles from becoming scattered.

Change nail looks with care

Give yourself enough time for preparation, application and removal. Clean and shape the nails before polish, size every press-on before adhesive and follow curing directions for any gel nail system. When it is time for a change, use the recommended remover instead of scraping or forcing products off. Finish by washing hands and storing reusable nail tools clean and dry. A careful routine supports neater results across polish, false nails and nail art.
