Express manicure in 10 minutes

Short on time but want tidy nails? With the right method, a full manicure fits into 10 minutes. Here’s the express step-by-step.

Minute 0-2: prep

File your nails into shape and push back the cuticles. Clean off any leftover grease.

Minute 2-3: base coat

A thin layer of base coat. It dries while you get the colour ready.

Minute 3-7: colour

With the pen nail polish you paint directly, no brush. Two thin coats, leaving a few seconds between them. Since it air-dries, there’s no lamp to wait for.

Minute 7-9: top coat

Seal with a top coat for shine and longevity.

Minute 9-10: finish

A touch of cuticle oil and you’re done. Let it dry a couple of minutes before using your hands fully.

The secret

The speed comes from the format: painting as if you were writing, and air-drying. Discover the Velynails pen nail polishes and do your express manicure whenever you like.
