1. Apply one coat of basecoat to prime nails.
2. Apply 2 coats of your main shade to the nail.
3. Once the lacquer has completely dried, place the White Tip Guides just above the cuticle to create a half moon. Alternatively, place White Tip Guides along natural nail line for a traditional French style. Make sure you press firmly especially around the grooves.
4. Polish the nail bed to form a half moon using your second Nail Lacquer colour. For a brighter finish, be sure to add a second coat.
5. To finish, use one coat of top coat to seal your manicure, providing a durable, high-shine finish.

Colour Theory
Sorbet Shades – the hottest new mani!
Need some Spring style inspiration?
Celebrity manicurist and ORLY Australia’s ambassador, Fiona Hay says “Start injecting some colour back into your spring wardrobe with one of your own personal accessories – fingernails!
Shades inspired by sherberts, sorbets and macaroons are delicious this Spring. Peach nude, pistachio, musk pink, lilac, and lemon are also a must. As we head into Summer, nails shades will brighten up – so reach for hot neon colours.”
Fiona’s top tips for a perfect pastel manicure?
- Gently file your nails into a soft feminine shape, following the natural curve of your finger tip. Buff the surface gently with a foam buffer to prepare the nail for perfect polish application.
- Cleanse nail with polish remover to remove any dust and surface oils – this will help prevent peeling.
- Apply base coat, then two coats of your favourite ORLY nail colour – try shades It’s Not Me It’s You, Lemonade or Lollipop. Finally, seal with top coat for high shine, chip resistant nails.
- Don’t forget to apply cuticle oil daily, as needed.
Voila!
