There’s nothing better than walking out of the salon with a fresh, flawless manicure. But how do you keep that “just-done” look for as long as possible? Here are five simple tips from our experts to extend the life of your beautiful nails.
- Hydrate Your Cuticles: Apply cuticle oil daily. Hydrated cuticles prevent hangnails and keep the area around your nail flexible, reducing the chance of lifting or chipping.
- Be Gentle: Treat your nails like jewels, not tools. Avoid using them to open cans or scrape things.
- Wear Gloves: When doing household chores like washing dishes or cleaning, protect your manicure by wearing rubber gloves.
- Apply a Top Coat: Re-apply a thin layer of a quality top coat every 2-3 days to restore shine and add an extra layer of protection.
- Schedule Regular Fills: If you have gel or acrylic enhancements, don’t wait too long between appointments. Regular fills maintain the nail’s structure and prevent breakage.
By following these simple steps, you can enjoy your beautiful manicure for weeks to come!
