5-pc. Manicure System Kit
Sale Price: $38.00 Original Price: $48.00

Introducing our 5-pc Manicure System Kit, the perfect starter set for anyone who wants to achieve salon-worthy nails at home. This kit comes in a gift pouch, making it a great present for any occasion.

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.

  • 30 Second Quick Drying Glossy Top Coat (15 mL). This top coat is great for sealing and smoothing manicures and pedicures. It dries in just 30 seconds, making it easy to refresh and apply a layer each day for strong and shiny nails.

  • Premium Glass Nail File in an assorted color. Glass files are superior to emery boards, as they seal the keratin layers together at the edge of the nail to prevent peeling and chipping. Plus, they can be sanitized and have a much longer lifespan, making them more environmentally friendly.

  • 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.
