It remains to be seen how to reproduce these famous ‘soap nails’. If there is not a specific technique, it goes without saying that this manicure requires having a shiny varnish, a top coat, and all the essential tools to push back the cuticles, but also to file, polish, smooth and shape your nails so as to obtain a flawless manicure. Once this step is completed, simply apply the glossy varnish – some opt for a transparent pink varnish or a milky white – then finish with a top coat with a glossy finish. That’s it ! Be careful though, who says impeccable manicure, says hand care. You must therefore also exfoliate and moisturize your little handcuffs for the result to be truly perfect.
