Leighton Denny's nail care tips

Learn how to create a professional-style manicure at home.

File like a pro

  • Ensure your file is in tip-top condition by washing it regularly in warm water.
  • File in long sweeping movements from the side to the centre.
  • As soon a split appears file the nail to seal the layers and prevent further damage.

Back to base-ics

  • Clean your nails before applying base coat to minimise bumps and peeling polish.
  • It's time to apply your polish when Under Cover base coat turns from shiny to matte.
  • Create a simple and neat look by applying Crystal Finish top coat directly over Under Cover.

Colour up

  • Try layering colours to see what exciting new shades you can create
  • Roll the nail polish bottle between your hands to mix it up - as shaking can create those annoying air bubbles.
  • Apply thin coats - the thicker the coat the longer it takes to dry. If you apply polish over a coat that isn't dry you can get indents and smudges.
  • If you're going out straight after, ensure you have everything to hand: car keys, phone etc before applying your polish.

Go white gold

  • Create a metallic effect by applying these products in this order: base coat, Golden Girl, Diamond Diva, and top coat.
