Prepare for some sitting for the polish job with Luscious Nails clients here. Use a Sharpie and exfoliate after applying polish, and then bend nails and remove as much buildup as possible. After you’ve worked on just one set of nails, repeat the process to all four nail beds. Once all polish is off, buff the nails with a polishing brush and then let them air dry.

Don’t forget to enjoy a glass of Champagne and a feathery pedicure? No problem! Shaina recommends the Bouquet of Affair by Bondi Sands ($24).
