Pro Tips for Long-Lasting Gel Pedicures
- Prep matters: Gentle exfoliation, cuticle care and a dehydrating prep ensure better adhesion.
- Thin layers: Apply two thin colour coats and fully cap free edges to prevent lifting.
- Choose the finish: Gloss adds depth to dark shades; matte modernises browns, olives and taupes.
- Seal & nourish: Finish with a durable top coat and use cuticle oil daily to keep toes photo-ready.
Autumn Pedicure FAQs
How do I choose the right autumn shade for my skin tone?
As a guide, warm undertones glow with burnt orange, caramel and gold accents; cool undertones shine with plum, black cherry and forest green; neutrals can play with both.
Is matte or glossy better for autumn?
Glossy finishes amplify depth on dark shades (cherry, burgundy), while matte gives browns, olives and taupes a chic, suede-like look. Both are on-trend—choose your vibe.
How long will a gel pedicure last?
With proper prep and aftercare, gel pedicures typically last 3–4+ weeks. Hydrate cuticles daily and avoid picking to keep them flawless.
