Getting a beautiful manicure at home is not only convenient, but also incredibly enjoyable. All you need is a little time, the necessary tools and a drop of inspiration. 

Imagine: Friday evening, it's quiet outside the window, the long-awaited weekend is ahead. You can take your time, take your time, finally exhale. You take out a nail file, choose the right shade of varnish, switch on a romantic comedy or a thrilling detective story that has been waiting for a long time. The light fragrance of candles fills the room, background music plays - cosiness and tranquillity all around.

And now you're not just getting your nails done - you're giving yourself a little ritual of self-care and self-love. It's a moment when all the attention is yours alone. And the result? A flawless manicure that will please the eye, lift your mood and remind you how important it is to pamper yourself.

Below we'll tell you what you need for the perfect at-home manicure and how to turn ordinary nail care into a real act of self-respect and pleasure.

Base and top are the essential steps to a perfect manicure. The base coat provides a strong adhesion of the varnish to the nail plate, protecting the nails from pigmentation and prolonging the stability of the manicure. The topcoat, in turn, gives a finished, well-groomed look, enhances shine and protects against chipping, fading and other damage. To save time and achieve a glossy finish, choose tops with a quick-drying effect - they make your manicure not only long-lasting, but also especially shiny. 

We recommend replacing your regular nail file with a glass file. Glass files are made of high-quality tempered glass and are characterised by their delicate abrasive surface. Thanks to their soft granularity, they gently file your nails, preventing them from breaking and splitting.
In addition, more convenient to use: you can both remove a little more length and perform precise, delicate work. It's easy to clean, doesn't lose its properties over time and will last you much longer than conventional options.

Acetone is a powerful and effective nail polish remover that works quickly. However, it has a downside: acetone severely dehydrates the nails and the skin around them, making the nail plates brittle and fragile. Therefore, it is better to avoid using it. Alternatively, you can opt for acetone-free products that contain milder ingredients such as ethyl acetate and moisturising additives such as glycerin. These ingredients help prevent your skin from drying out and are great for people with sensitive skin or allergy prone skin. 

And remember, whatever liquid you use, always wash your hands thoroughly afterwards - even small residues can cause irritation. 

Try to always have a natural shade of nail polish on hand that blends perfectly with your skin tone and looks harmonious. This lacquer will come in handy if you want to go for a ‘manicure without manicure’ - natural and well-groomed, as well as to create a French manicure, where a nude base is necessary. 

Choose the cuticle oil that suits you and use it daily. Pay attention to the convenience of the application system - oils come with a brush, dropper or rollerball. By choosing a product that you really like, you will significantly increase the chances that it will become part of your daily skincare routine.

At Global Fashion you will find cuticle oil for every taste - a wide range of flavours and formulations for perfect nail care. 

No nail care is complete without using a nourishing hand cream. Spend a little more time and thoroughly rub the cream into each nail, gently massaging the skin around it. In just a short while, you will notice a significant improvement in the condition of your nails and hand skin. 

Nail strengthener should only be used when necessary. If used frequently, such products can dry out the nail plate, making it brittle and fragile. Therefore, it is not recommended to abuse them. However, if you are restoring your nails after acrylic or gel, a nail strengthener will be a real necessity - it will help to restore nail strength and health.
