Summer can be one of the trickiest times of year for your nails, with heat and humidity causing them to dry out and become brittle, leading to constant snapping, splitting and snagging.

Sofia Richie's Milky Manicure Wedding Nails by Georgia Rae

A reminder of Sofia Richie's wedding rehearsal dinner nails created by top manicurist Georgia Rae. The brief?

She created the soft nail base by starting with the Biosculpture 'Evo Flex Base,' then she used the 'Biosculpture Bio Gel' in '87 Strawberry French' and topped it off with Biosculpture 'Evo Gloss Top Coat.' However, for this specific ice cream manicure there was an added seamless soft white tip blended in.

Almond girl through and through like Nicola? If you want to use it for pre-mani prep, simply apply two coats to clean, bare nails before applying your polish of choice – something Molly-Mae showed herself doing before her latest manicure.

What’s more, shoppers can currently snap it up on Amazon with almost 40% off, slashing the price from £29.99 to £18.90.

Whenever she posts a new outfit on Instagram or shares her love for a new cosmetic product to her 8.4 million following count, it prompts sell-out collections and widely replicated beauty routines. Networking is crucial to put yourself out there, connect with others in the industry and be introduced to opportunities.” She notes her most important tip: “Stay passionate about what you do, because that energy will shine through in your work.”

Corrine’s nail journey

So, how did Corrine get to this point in her career?

Enter: The 'ice cream' manicure. So, I decided to dedicate my time to training to become an educator, writing manuals and launching my own online store, where fellow nail techs can purchase Nail It branded E-files and tools. However it has been designed to be used as a long-term treatment, and after the initial six days its best to apply regularly to keep your nail beds strong.

It’s important to me that I treat every client with the same level of care and respect, regardless of their profile – and maintain a professional yet personal connection.
