My beauty mantra: do less.
You already know I love a good ‘no-makeup makeup‘ routine, and my latest favorite thing is a clean and natural manicure. When my salon started stocking Zoya’s Naked Manicure kits, I had to get my hands on one (ha, pun).
For the cost of a professional manicure, this perfecting kit has everything you need to get lots of your-nails-but-better DIY manis at home. It treats, corrects, and protects in five minutes, and leaves your nails with a satin buff finish that lasts. Over time and repeated use, the system improves nails’ strength, condition and flexibility; it’s especially great if you’ve damaged your nails with acrylics or gel manicures.
And like all Zoya’s nail products, all the polishes in the kit are toxin-free.
To keep my hands and cuticles in shape — they take a beating at the flower shop — I keep this all-natural Shea Moisture hand and body scrub by the bathroom sink and give my paws a good scrub when I get home from work each day. I also keep hand lotion everywhere (from my handbag to my desk drawer and nightstand) and try to remember to apply it throughout the day. I love anything from FarmHouse Fresh, The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector, and Goe Oil.
This post first appeared on the blog on August 4, 2015. I rescued it from the archives and updated it with fresh links to get your paws on your own Naked kit.

I’ve been using this for years and recommend it to everyone. I can’t paint my nails at home so it’s the only DIY I’ll use.

Your nails look great. I had a natural manicure the other day at my favourite spa because I’d had nail damage after a bad gellish removal. It looked so pretty that I cannot wait to get another one.

AntheaThank you! Oh man, I know the pain of bad gel removals. The best part about these kinds of manicures is no chipping!!
