Arch Rock (Sheer)
$16.00

Shimmering peach sheer nail polish that is inspired by Arch Rock, on Mackinac Island.

Arch Rock is one of the natural wonders of the Midwest and one of the most popular tourist attractions on Mackinac Island. It is a magnificent rock formation that stands at 146 feet above the water and is 50 feet wide.

As you approach the rock formation, the sight of it will take your breath away. The grandeur of the rock towering above the water, the way it has been carved by the forces of nature, and the way it contrasts with the blue of the lake and the sky, create a sense of wonder and amazement for all ages to enjoy while they visit the island.

The kit includes:

  • Ridge Filling Base Coat (15 mL). This base coat is perfect for starting off your manicure right, protecting your nails from staining, and smoothing the nail surface for a longer lasting manicure.

  • Moisturizing Cuticle Balm in an assorted scent. This balm is perfect for preventing dryness and cracking in cuticles. Simply swipe it around the cuticles after removing nail polish or use it after your manicure has cured. It's great for the winter months.

  • Handmade Balm Keychain Case, locally handmade in Traverse City, MI.

Choose between a Michigan nail file and Petoskey stone theme, or no Michigan decal on file and randomized keychain balm case. This kit has everything you need to achieve a professional-looking manicure at home.

Recommended routine:

Shape nails with glass nail file to desired length and shape. Wash hands and dry completely.

1. Apply a coat of Ridge Filling Base Coat

2. Apply two thin coats of color, making sure all coats dry in between layers

3. Apply a coat of 30 Second Top Coat to finish off the look

Once manicure is dried completely, you can apply the cuticle oil around the skin and nails to keep cuticles healthy and moisturized.

For removal, dab a cotton ball with a small amount of remover and dab onto each nail and let soak for about a minute before scrubbing at the nail polish.
