Key features
- Quick-dry formula: Sets to a touch-dry finish faster than traditional polish, reducing smudge risk.
- Glossy finish: Mimics a salon-style shine without a UV cure.
- French-manicure shades: The Excuse My French range is designed specifically around soft pinks, neutrals and creams that suit the classical French look.
- Standard wand applicator: Gives easy, controllable coverage on the nail.
Shade — Strawberry Cream
Strawberry Cream is a soft, milky pink with a subtle cool undertone — the kind of shade that flatters most skin tones, suits both office and casual wear, and pairs beautifully with the brand's matching white-tip polish for a classic French manicure. Worn alone, it gives a clean, polished, "your-nails-but-better" finish.
How to use
- Start with clean, dry nails. Buff lightly and wipe over with a polish remover to lift any oil from the nail bed.
- Apply a base coat to protect the natural nail and improve adhesion.
- Roll the bottle gently between the palms to mix the formula — do not shake, which creates bubbles.
- Apply Strawberry Cream in two thin coats: one stroke down the centre of the nail, then one each side. Allow to dry briefly between coats.
- For a French manicure, layer a coordinating white tip polish along the free edge of each nail once the base shade has dried.
- Finish with a clear top coat to lock in the gloss and extend wear.
