Sure, it's hard to not get distracted by all the pretty polish colours out there; after all, they can instantly boost your mood. However, the first thing to think about before attempting an at-home manicure is making sure your nails — and hands — are in good shape, too.
Nails can get brittle and dehydrated after repeated gel or acrylic treatments, and now could be just the time to give them a rest. Still, even if you're going to go polish-free, there's no reason why you can't use these products to treat your cuticles and trim your nails, so your hands look and feel great.
At Sephora especially, nail-care products of all types are flying off the (virtual) shelves now that more people are ready to DIY a polish change — including celebrities — so ask yourself: do you have everything you need? Find the products from Sephora that let you totally nail your at-home manicures ahead.
