As much as I love a fresh manicure, they’re hard to justify because I can’t give my kids a bath without chipping the polish. So unless it’s a special occasion, I usually keep my nails short and bare. Admittedly, that means they don’t look as put together as I’d like.

But celebrity manicurist Miss Pop says, “Your nails don’t have to be polished to look polished.” Her No. 1 trick? Moisturize your cuticles every day. “Cuticle oil gives the nail flexibility, enhances shine, and prevents hangnails,” she says.

Tinted Base Coat

A base coat adds shine to bare nails but doesn’t hide stains. This violet tint counteracts yellow tones. With Biotin, Green Tea, Sunflower Seed Oil, and Vitamin E, you can apply this as a neutralizing base coat or wear alone for a perfected natural look.

Moisturizing Mist

Dry hands can lead to hangnails, so I love how this hydrating spray moisturizes without feeling greasy. The formula of moisture imparting hyaluronic acid and powerful antioxidants helps to improve the look of hands, feet, and body.
