Easy at Home Manicure Tutorial
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.
Here’s an easy tutorial to get the perfect manicure in 10 minutes, using exclusively Northern Nail Polish products that are healthier for both you and the environment!
You will need the 4-piece Manicure System Kit to ensure a long lasting manicure. This Kit includes the Northern Nail Polish Michigan glass nail file, Nourishing Base Coat, Quick Dry Top Coat, and Cuticle Balm.
Step 1. Trim and file your nails to the length and shape that you desire using the glass nail file.
Quick Fact: Glass nail files are beneficial because they seal the layers of keratin on the tip of your nail, rather than rip and tear like traditional emory boards.
Shop: Glass Nail File
Step 2. Apply one thin coat of Nourishing Base Coat.
Let the base coat dry for 1 minute. Quick Fact: Base coats protect your nail from stains and helps build strength to your nails for a longer lasting manicure.
Shop: Nourishing Base Coat
Step 3. Apply the first coat of your 10-toxin-free nail polish color.
Let this coat dry for about 3-4 minutes, until it is no longer tacky to touch.
Shop: Northern Nail Polish
Step 4. Apply the second coat of nail polish. Seal the edges!
Sealing the edges is very important for a longer lasting manicure. Simply swipe the brush along the edge of your nail to paint the very edge of the tip. Sometimes polish will get underneath the edge of the nail, but this is fine and helps seal your manicure. Let this layer dry for 3-4 minutes. Apply an additional coat of color if needed, to obtain the desired look.
Step 5. Apply a coat of 30 Second Quick Dry Top Coat. Seal the edges!
Using a top coat is one of the most important methods of ensuring your manicure will last without chipping and peeling. Seal the edge once more with the top coat. Quick Tip: Since my top coat dries in 30 seconds, it’s easy to refresh a dull and scratched manicure after a long day, by applying another layer of top coat to ensure your nail polish remains strong and shiny for the remainder of the week.

Optional Step 6. Cuticle Oil.
You may choose to use some Almond Cuticle Oil around your nails and cuticles, over your dry manicure. I especially do this before climbing into bed if I do my manicure at night.

Next day hydration:
Swiping the cuticle balm stick around your cuticles is a great non-messy way to moisturize your hands and cuticles.

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.
An optional, but helpful step is to apply a quick layer of top coat every day or every other day atop your completed manicure to maintain the chip-free wear and glossy shine. Since our top coat dries in 30 seconds, it’s easy to apply once a day for a longer lasting manicure.
Removal using Northern Nail Polish Nourishing and Natural Soy based Nail Polish Remover:
Apply a small amount on a cotton ball. Dab this onto all your nails. The video shows her holding the cotton ball on each nail for 20 seconds, but I just dab all the nails at the start and wait 20 seconds before rubbing the nail polish off. Both methods work and give you speedy results. :)
And there you have it! An easy, clean manicure you can do from home! If you would like to watch more tutorials like this, visit our blog for more nail art and ideas!
