This Terra Cotta nail shade by CND is my new fave. Perfect year round! I always use the fast dry top coat linked below. It provides incredible shine and great protection. I have natural nails and I use a glass nail file and I never cut my cuticles. I just moisturize them every night and I gently push them back when I get out of the shower on days when I’m doing my manicure. Cuticle cutting is terrible - it leaves you open to infection and it is a racket - so if your nail salon does this tell them you don’t want your cuticles cut, just pushed back. If you moisturize your cuticles they won’t be dry and ragged and you won’t want to get them cut off. I did nails as a licensed manicurist in a salon/spa for 5 years. I am giving you the straight scoop!
