She captioned the post: "Perfect pink - 4 hours of mixing and shades but I now have a little pot of my perfect pink gel." The nail expert also revealed her nail prep routine.
On Instagram, we spotted the original version of this trend by celebrity nail artists Harriet Westmoreland. Rather than splashing out on an expensive manicure, a nail strengthener can work wonders at keeping them healthy and strong, something Molly-Mae Hague knows all too well.
The former Love Island star took to Instagram recently to share her favourite product to keep her nails from snapping, as she told fans “I’m going to let you in on my secret” as she shared an Insta story using the OPI Repair Mode,£18.90 here(was £29.99). Although she marked the stories as an ad, Molly-Mae revealed she’d been using the treatment for a while, and raved about how much “stronger and healthier” her nails were after using the polish.
The OPI Repair Mode polish helps to repair up to 99% of your nail’s keratin and can be used as either a booster before your next manicure or on its own to maintain longer, healthier nails.
Now, as we are firmly settling into spring, this style is more popular than ever. I now use it twice a week for maintenance topped with OPI nail strengthener. This Molly-Mae approved nail design follows the clean, natural, barely-there movement we've spotted amongst the A-list. Hooked on the stiletto nail shape?
“At the time, both Fran and Molly were unable to get their nails done because salons were closed. Mix white with a pink or add a lilac overlay for a shade that shifts under direct sunlight, and looks less harsh and striking than a block white shade.
Alongside the images of the manicures, Harriet shared her secrets behind the design.

Corrine adds: “When working with high-profile clients, it’s important to create an environment where they feel comfortable and confident in your work.
What is the 'ice cream' manicure? This helps not only create a smoother surface, but also a much healthier growth which is less likely to snap and break.
To get the best from the Repair Mode, you just need to apply one coat twice a day for at least six days to begin with.
Molly-Mae's nails were filed into a short squoval design and her shade of choice was a sheer, milky white (with just the faintest hint of pink). I started gaining more high-profile clients, which has led to even more exciting opportunities. 'It’s our shade #FunnyBunny 🙌💖 Recently worn by @sofiarichiegrainge for her Wedding Rehearsal night too!' As if we needed more of an excuse to get on board.
