Your perfect manicure
Step by step - your best natural manicure!
With Benecos nail colour and care products you can easily achieve the perfect DIY mani and pedi. We have put together a step-by-step guide for you and for your be-youtiful nails.
1. Base
If you have old polish which needs to be removed use our Benecos Nail Polish Remover. The basis of a good manicure are clean, oil-free nails and nails. Wash your hands with soap and lukewarm water.
IMPORTANT APPLICATION TIP for Benecos Nail Polish Remover:
Our Nail Polish Remover is the Benecos world-wide top selling product, however, you need to use it a little differently from what you may be used to. Squeeze the nail polish remover onto a cotton pad (this is important because using paper towels doesn’t work well with natural nail polish remover) and let it sit on the nail for a short while (60 seconds) so that the natural formulation can dissolve the nail polish. Then wipe the nails with light pressure and gently remove the polish - what you are left with are clean and beautiful nails. Acetone-free and non-drying, leaves an oily finish. If painting nails again directly after removing polish with Soft Nail Polish Remover, then it’s also important to wash your hands and nails with soap for the new Nail Polish to adhere well.
2. Shape
It's all in the shape - it's child's play with our Benecos Manicure Sticks made of birch wood and Nail Files made of sandpaper. You can use the flat end of the manicure stick to push back your cuticles and use the pointed end to clean your nails. The coarser side of the file shapes your nails and corrects unevenness, the fine side closes them and smoothes the tips.
3. Smooth
Kaolin Nail Repair is enriched with white clay, to smooth the grooves, helping to give you an even surface in preparation for your manicure.
TIP: Use as Kaolin Nail Repair your base coat.
4. Colour
Choose your favourite from our large range of 20 different Benecos Nail Polishes in 20-FREE* formulation (*see below).
You may fancy trying our gorgeous new colours: cotton candy, lovely lavender and sage green. At present our top sellers in Australia are be my baby, bubble gum and oh lala!.
Before applying, always wipe the brush at the neck of the bottle to prevent too much colour from getting onto the nail. Start in the middle of the nail base, then one stroke on the left and one on the right. After about 5 minutes or so of drying time, you can apply a second coat if you want a more intense colour result.

5. Top it off for a long-lasting mani or pedi
Give your nails Top Coat crystal clear varnish, which we highly recommend because it ensures durability for a long-lasting manicure and pedicure.
One more thing - do you have brittle, splintering nails?
If your answer is yes, then we have the solution for you! Benecos Nail Hardener with nourishing bamboo extract, water and air permeable. It nourishes and strengthens your nails, helps them become harder and more resilient and creates a soft shimmer. Tests confirm that the thickness of the nail plate increases after regular use and the nail matrix increases.
How to use: Apply two coats of Nail Hardener to your clean and dry nails. Then remove with Nail Polish Remover every 3 days and reapply until the desired effect occurs.
