How does Malaga Wine perform for everyday wear?

Malaga Wine is formulated to resist chipping and maintain color payoff through regular daily activities, especially when paired with a recommended three-step routine. The lacquer levels out smoothly with minimal streaking and provides a salon-like shine that lasts longer than typical drugstore formulas.

• Fast-drying finish reduces waiting time between coats
• Pro-wide brush for smoother, quicker application

What application tips give the best results?

For a professional finish, start with clean, dry nails and a base coat to protect the nail plate. Apply two thin coats of Malaga Wine, let each dry briefly, then seal with a glossy top coat for enhanced shine and longevity.

• Prep nails by pushing back cuticles and lightly buffing the surface
• Apply a base coat to prevent staining and improve adhesion
• Use two even strokes with the pro-wide brush to cover the nail quickly
• Finish with a fast-dry top coat to lock in color and boost gloss
