How to Give Yourself the Perfect, Professional Salon Manicure at Home

By Suzanne Roberta Martens, MBA

When the temperatures drop and the air turns crisp, our nails often pay the price—becoming dry, brittle, and dull from the constant switch between cozy indoor heat and cold outdoor air. But who says you need to brave the chill for a salon visit? With the Adesse New York Hydrating & Brightening Nail Trio, you can give yourself a flawless, professional-level manicure from the comfort of your home—complete with a glossy, long-lasting finish and deeply nourished nails.

Step 1: Prep and Hydrate with Hydra Veil Base Coat

Every beautiful manicure begins with a healthy foundation, and that’s where Hydra Veil Base Coat comes in. Infused with quenching cucumber water and nourishing cotton seed oil, this luxurious base coat hydrates and strengthens dry nails while fortifying the delicate layers of keratin protein that make up the nail plate.
As the weather cools, nails can lose moisture and become prone to splitting—Hydra Veil acts like a tall glass of water for your nails, restoring elasticity and protecting them from future damage. Apply one thin, even coat and allow it to dry before moving on to color.

Step 2: Choose Your Fall Signature Shade

Now comes the fun part—color! The Adesse New York collection is full of clean, non-toxic, and fashion-forward shades, but for fall, we’re swooning over two standouts:

Madison Square – a deep, elegant red that evokes the sophistication of a Manhattan night.
Waldorf Astoria – a sublime silver with just the right amount of shimmer for a touch of holiday sparkle.
Apply two coats of your chosen shade, allowing each to dry fully for a rich, even finish.

Step 3: Seal and Shine with Diamond Shine Top Coat

For that high-gloss, salon-worthy finish, top your manicure with Diamond Shine Top Coat. True to its name, it delivers a diamond-like brilliance that catches the light and seals in color while providing a hard, protective shield. Not only does it give your manicure that mirror-smooth gleam, but it also extends wear time—so your polish looks freshly applied for days longer.

Step 4: Finish with Strengthening Bamboo Cream

A perfect manicure isn’t complete without caring for your cuticles. The final step in your at-home manicure ritual is to massage a small amount of Strengthening Bamboo Cream into your cuticles and nails. Packed with hydrating botanicals, this rich cream restores moisture, strengthens nail beds, and promotes healthy growth.
Especially in cold weather, cuticle care is essential. Dry, neglected cuticles can crack and allow bacteria to enter, compromising the overall health and integrity of your nails. A few seconds of nourishment each day can make all the difference.

Your At-Home Manicure, Elevated

With the Adesse New York Hydrating & Brightening Nail Trio, you don’t just polish your nails—you pamper them. This easy, four-step ritual brings professional-quality results home, leaving your nails hydrated, glossy, and resilient through every season.

Healthy. Hydrated. Radiant. That’s the Adesse way.
