Zulekha Isla Imrie, an award-winning international model and trend-setter, recently revealed to us a pretty simple trick for manicure perfection: “I believe that oil on your nails is a MUST, as it not only adds shine but also helps to provide an extra glow to your nails. It’s also to avoid chipping on your fingernails.”
Oil polish has come a long way, and nail polishes infused with oil have been popping up on beauty blogs and Instagram pages all over. But the truth is that you don’t need to be a professional like Zulekha to apply oil polish. In fact, you don’t even need to travel for a week in order to master this new technique that adds shine and glossy texture to your nails. You don’t even need to add them before applying your nail polish.
If you keep some nail oil around on a daily basis, just drizzle on your nails, and wait for it to harden (see what I did there?). Once they’re a quarter of the way up, buff, buff, buff with a nail file.
And while there is no specific type of nail oil you need, if you want to create a nice oil base coat that won’t be too heavy, try coconut or avocado. Or, for a bit of that added-luxe, you can use a few drops of oil on a small wax butter to give your polish a bit of a shine.
Here are all the oils you need to choose from, and how to get flawless mani-palette.
