Soap nails: the natural nail trend
Soap nails are a natural nail trend: short, well-kept nails with a sheer layer of soft pink or nude and lots of shine. They look like you just washed your hands: clean, fresh and glossy.
Which colour do you use for soap nails?
A soft, sheer pink or nude. I recommend Baby Pink in one thin layer, so your nail keeps a natural look. Want a little more coverage? Add a second thin layer.
How do you do soap nails at home?
File your nails short and softly rounded, push back your cuticles and degrease. Apply one layer of Baby Pink and the top coat, each under the LED lamp, and finish with the glossy finish for shine.
How do you keep soap nails glossy?
Every day a few drops of nail oil on your cuticles and some hand cream. That keeps your nails and the skin around them cared for.
How long do soap nails last?
On average 10 to 14 days, and for some even longer.
Are soap nails easy to remove?
Yes. You peel off your Striplac with the peel off remover, without acetone and without filing.
Can you do soap nails with regular nail polish?
Yes. Choose a sheer nude or pink polish, like Heavens Nude, in one thin layer, and finish with the Gelactic top coat for shine.

Baby Pink, 1 layer
One thin layer of Baby Pink gives that soft, natural look. Prefer another natural shade? Pick it here.

Seals your colour and adds shine.
The shine
The glossy finish removes the sticky layer and gives that glossy look.
Care
Every day a few drops of nail oil on your cuticles and some hand cream. That keeps your nails looking glossy.
