How to Create the Perfect Vegan Manicure

With Spring around the corner, it’s time to master the art of the perfect vegan manicure. Follow these steps to achieve a stunning look that will have your nails stealing the spotlight.

1. Prepare Your Nails

Start by removing any old polish and gently pushing back your cuticles. Trim and file your nails to your desired shape—whether that’s square, round, or almond-shaped.

2. Exfoliate and Moisturize

Before applying polish, exfoliate your hands and nails to remove dead skin. Use a vegan scrub or make your own with sugar and olive oil. Follow up with a nourishing hand cream or cuticle oil to hydrate.

3. Apply a Base Coat

A good base coat is crucial for a long-lasting manicure. Look for a vegan base coat that will protect your nails from staining and help polish adhere better.

4. Choose Your Color

Select a festive vegan nail polish color that matches your holiday attire. Apply a thin coat and allow it to dry before adding a second coat for full coverage. Brands like BarBella Co. offer vibrant vegan polishes perfect for the season.

5. Add a Top Coat

Finish with a high-quality vegan top coat to seal in your color and add shine. This step will also help your manicure last longer, so you can enjoy your holiday parties without worrying about chipping!

6. Nail Art (Optional)

If you’re feeling adventurous, add some nail art! Use nail tape for clean lines or a dotting tool to create fun designs. Just ensure your nail art products are vegan-friendly.

Conclusion

With these steps, you can create a beautiful vegan manicure that’s perfect for Spring celebrations. Don't forget the nailfies!
