Your perfect manicure with CATRICE
For your nail arts to look great on your fingernails, a first-class manicure is essential. We’ll tell you step by step how to proceed:
First, remove nail polish and other residue from your natural nail. To do this, stroke a cotton pad with nail polish remover from the nail root to the tip. How to avoid the remover hitting the cuticles.
Now you can use nail oils and hand care to hydrate the skin and nourish the nail.
To keep your designs looking clean, carefully slide excess cuticles back before painting. Incidentally, the same also applies to the creation of toenail designs.
Now you can shape your nails with a file. For gel nails, you repeat this after curing.
Finally, you can apply the desired colours or record simple nail designs. Top & Base Coats extend the life of your designs.
With the right care for the beautiful nail design
For first-class nail designs, you should also offer your nails a sensible nail care. It is especially important if you do not want to do without nail moulding or gel. For example, with French nails or some baby boomer nail designs.
The application and removal of extensions and reinforcements causes stress and long-term dilution of the nails.
We’ll tell you which care products you can’t do without.

Nail design - Made for you
Each nail is different and so is every nail design. In principle, the following applies: Get creative about your fingernails. Nevertheless, there are certain **nail designs and techniques **that are better suited to some nails than others. We’ll tell you what to consider.
Paint short nails
Light tones are particularly suitable for short nails. They make the nail and generally the hand work longer. When you choose nude colours, your nails also go with any outfit. Pastel tones are also very versatile, giving your outfit a delicate touch or creating a dreamlike look. When applying, make sure not to pull the paint to the side edge of the nail. How to make your nails last longer.
Paint long nails
If you paint long nails, you should focus on stability. To ensure that you do not break nails, it is recommended that you treat the nail surface with a nail barter beforehand. Colours suggest particularly rich tones. They make your long nails shine.
Your nail design by season
Do you like to try new nail designs? Then let yourself be inspired by the seasons:
Floral motifs and pastel tones are suitable as spring nail designs.
If you want to create nail designs** for the **summer, bright colours are also recommended. The weather is nice, people are happy – bright neon details or intense pink colours suit the mood.
For your autumn nail design, you can be inspired by the colourful foliage in colour. Warm reds, oranges and yellows are perfect.
Winter nail designs can beautifully reflect the snow with cool, light shades of blue. Other soft nail polish colours are also suitable. You can also make a statement in the snowy winter season with bright red. And of course, a chic Christmas nail design shouldn’t be without glitter.
