How To Give Yourself a No-Polish Manicure at Home
A no-polish manicure will make your natural nails look healthy, clean, and shiny without nail polish. While applying nail polish or gel is fun, there are certain days or specific reasons why we don’t want to go all out. For those moments, we must keep those nails looking good still.
The brand, Dr. Dana Nails recently sent me their no-polish manicure set so I was lucky enough to try it. I was so impressed with how easy, quick, and beautiful the whole process was. I was excited to share this manicure with you guys.
For the following no-polish manicure, take note that you don’t need this exact kit. I will link similar products that you will be able to find on Amazon. 🤍
No-Polish Manicure
Ready for a beautiful no-polish manicure in just 4 steps? Yup, it’s that simple!
Step 1: File
First, you need to file your nails. Get rid of any rough edges and file to your desired shape. I used to be a square fan but now I’m rocking an almond shape. It’s totally a personal preference!
The no-polish kit by Dr. Dana contains a beautiful glass file but of course, you can use any nail file you have on hand!

Step 2: Glycolic Prep
Once our nails are filed, it’s time to prep our nails with some glycolic acid treatment. Our nails go under a lot of stress daily and may be weak & brittle.
Prepping our nails with glycolic acid will help rejuvenate and strengthen them!

Once the glycolic acid is absorbed into our nails, it’s time to buff. Buffing blocks are my favorite and so fun especially when it gets to the shine part!
Buffing our nails helps remove the damaged nail cells so we have smooth and healthy nails. The shine surface of the buffing block is the last step and it will leave your nails so incredibly shiny!

Last, it’s time to treat those cuticles! Ensuring our cuticles are moisturized and well taken care of is important to our nail health and growth.
