BYOB Nail Polish To The Salon

$19

Recommended by JV

Discovering Active Smooth 00 is a literal highlight of my year. I stopped using nail polish when I got pregnant (you don’t have to), and then it felt weird to use it again. Finally, I tested Active Smooth at a cute shop, and I loved the matte finish and the neutral color of the coat. I use 2-3 layers, and note it takes time to dry, but it seriously doesn’t chip!!

Beautiful natural nail look with only two coats. Gives shine and great smooth finish. 00 and 01 reminds me of OPI Put it in Neutral and Bare My Soul. Drys quickly and last a week. Gives the results of gel without the damage.

I have the active glow and like that a lot but I’m going to have to try the smooth next! I like the idea of my nails not being shiny

Same! The matte finish is really chill

I love Active Shine!! They have a glittery top coat and together they make the perfect mani.

pro moves! Any chance you've figured out how to make the polish dry faster? That's my biggest issue with the Active collection, I feel like after 2-3 coats I'm waiting a while for it to set.

No tips, but I’ve found 2-3 v thin coats is the sweet spot. Any more (or thicker) and it always smudges for me!

I loooove manicurist! If you like active smooth you should try vanity from celisse! More of a gel look when you’re feeling fancy ✨

I need to try!!
