Unless a client asks you to get a manicure with bright red nail polish, or any other color, you should maintain clean buffed nails at all times.  You will appear well groomed, and have the "clean canvas" look that enables clients to visualize you in their projects. However, for informals and trunks show bookings, female models are required to wear a nude or clear polish.

File your nails either in a round or almond shape. Keep the length between short and medium.

Rub in a few drops of cuticle remover cream/oil into each cuticle.

Soak nails in warm soapy water for a few minutes to soften the cuticles.

Gently push the cuticles back with a cuticle pusher tool. If you do not have one, Q-Tips are a great substitute. 

Buff and smooth nail edges. We recommend purchasing a 4 way buffer and shiner – it has file, buffer shiner and polish all in one. 

If you want to add nail polish, we suggest clear, nudes, or pale pinks.  Add a clear base and top coat for nude and pale pinks.

Complete your manicure with some hand moisturizer (make sure the polish is dry first). 

If you are doing your nails around bedtime, rub some fresh lavender or lavender oil on your hands for a relaxing scent!
