Healthy nails, barely-there colour, zero fuss. The bare manicure is this autumn's defining nail trend, and it's easier to achieve than you think.
What is the bare manicure?
Much like the no-makeup "clean girl" look, the bare manicure is all about healthy, neatly filed nails and the lightest touch of polish.
For some, it marks the start of their nail health journey. For others, recent news such as the TPO ban in gel polish has them searching for alternatives to achieve the perfect autumn manicure.
Either way, our award-winning Açai Nail Elixir, the 5-in-1 treatment, is the answer. It helps you achieve both goals at once: stronger, healthier nails and a chic, effortless finish.
Nourishing nails from the inside out
When we created Açai Nail Elixir, we wanted a formula that would do more than address damage from gel, acrylics and environmental stressors. It's packed with nourishing oils and antioxidant-rich actives, including Argan oil, Açai Berry and Vitamin E, plus amino acids to replenish dryness, strengthen nails and protect against further damage.
Açai Nail Elixir has been shown to improve nail condition and reduce breakage, making it your hero product this autumn.
How to use it
As an intensive reparative treatment, Açai Nail Elixir works best as a short weekly routine. Start by applying two coats to clean, bare nails, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next. After 2-3 days, add another coat on top, and repeat this again after a further 2-3 days. Once you reach day 7, remove the treatment with our Acetone-free polish remover Clean, then rinse and dry your hands and nails before starting the cycle again from the beginning.
Stick with it and you expect to see a marked improvement in splitting and condition within three weeks, in plenty of time for your Halloween manicure.

A sheer pink tint for that natural finish
And that's not all. Açai Nail Elixir has a semi-sheer pink tint, giving you that perfect natural, bare-nail look. Repair and strengthen your nails while enjoying a chic, effortless finish.
