Sep
If you’re searching for nail ideas you can actually recreate with Claresa products, you’re in the right place. Below you’ll find few on-trend, salon-worthy designs—each written as a precise, step-by-step tutorial using Claresa-style essentials like base coats, colour gel nail polishes, rubber bases, glossy or matte tops. No guessing, no mystery products – just clear directions so your nail ideas look flawless and last.
Milky-Lipgloss Nails
Why this look: Minimal, clean, and ultra-glossy. The subtle milky veil blurs imperfections and flatters every nail length.
What you’ll need (Claresa range):
- Nail Prep & Primer
- Claresa Base Coat or Claresa Rubber Base in a sheer nude
- Claresa White or a sheer pink/neutral gel polish
- Claresa Lipgloss
- Claresa Top No Wipe
How to get it:
- Prep the nail: shape, gently remove cuticle, buff, cleanse. Apply Primer or Nail Prep.
- Apply a thin layer of Base Coat (or Rubber Base). Cure.
- Brush on a thin coat of Milky White or sheer nude. Cure.
- Apply Claresa Lipgloss.
- Seal with Top No Wipe and cure.
Pro tips:
- Keep each colour coat thin; milky shades can look streaky if overloaded.
- For a warmer “lip-gloss” vibe, swap Milky White for a sheer pink from Claresa’s nude palette.
Micro French (ultra-thin, modern elegance)
Why this look: A minimalist take on the classic French—razor-thin tips look chic on short and medium nails.
What you’ll need (Claresa range):
- Claresa Power Base (nude/cover shade)
- Claresa White 1000 or white nail gel
- Claresa Top No Wipe or Claresa Matte Top
- Optional: Claresa Builder Gel Clear for extra apex strength
How to get it:
- Apply Base to create a smooth, soft-focus nude foundation. Cure.
- With a fine liner brush, sketch a super-thin white smile line across the free edge. Work nail by nail; cure as you go.
- Perfect the line: add microscopic touch-ups rather than one thick swipe.
- Seal with Top No Wipe for glassy shine – or Matte Top for a fashion-editor finish. Cure.
Pro tips:
- If your free edge is uneven, softly blur it with a nude coat before drawing the line; it makes micro tips appear sharper.
- A whisper of Builder Gel adds durability if your nails are flexible.
Blush Aura Nails (soft halo at the center)
Why this look: A diffused “blush” glow that looks airbrushed – romantic, youthful, and very wearable.
What you’ll need (Claresa range):
- Claresa Base Coat
- Sheer neutral or a soft nude colours
- Claresa Pink colours or a sheer coral/peach
- Cosmetic sponge or fluffy nail art brush
- Claresa Top No Wipe
How to get it:
- Base Coat, cure. Apply one thin coat of the sheer neutral; cure.
- Dab a tiny amount of pink on a sponge/soft brush. Gently tap the center of the nail to create a round, diffused spot. Cure.
- Add a sheer neutral veil over the whole nail to soften the edges. Cure.
- Repeat aura and veil layers until the halo is soft but visible.
- Seal with Top No Wipe. Cure.
Pro tips:
- Less product on the sponge = cleaner gradient.
- Try peach or apricot shades for a warm “sunlit” aura; cool pinks feel fresh and doll-like.
Foundation for Long-Lasting Results (applies to all nail ideas)
- Prep matters: shape, remove cuticle gently, buff shine away, cleanse, and use Primer if your nails are oily or lifting-prone.
- Thin coats win: it is better to cure two thin layers than one thick
- Cap the free edge: run the brush along the tip each coat to reduce chipping.
- Choose the right top: Top Diamond or Top Glass for mirror gloss; Matte Top for a velvety, editorial finish.
