Protect Your Investment
After leaving the salon with a flawless set of nails, the last thing you want is a chip or a crack just a few days later. While our premium products are designed for durability, how you treat your hands at home makes a significant difference. Here are five simple ways to keep your nails looking salon-fresh:
1. Wear Gloves for Chores
Water and harsh chemicals in cleaning products are the enemies of a long-lasting manicure. Constant exposure to water can cause your natural nails to expand and contract, leading to polish lifting or chipping. Always wear rubber gloves when washing dishes or cleaning the house.
2. Oil Your Cuticles Daily
Hydration is key to nail health and polish flexibility. Apply a drop of cuticle oil every evening before bed. This keeps the skin around your nails soft and prevents the polish from becoming brittle and prone to cracking.
3. Use Tools, Not Your Nails
Your nails are jewels, not tools! Avoid using them to open soda cans, peel off stickers, or scrape surfaces. These small actions put immense pressure on the tips of your nails, which is where most chips begin.
4. Don’t Pick or Peel
If you notice a small lift in your gel polish, resist the urge to peel it off. Peeling off gel can strip away the top layers of your natural nail, making them thin and weak. Instead, visit us for a professional removal or a quick fix.
5. Apply a Top Coat Refresh
For classic polish (non-gel), applying a thin layer of clear top coat every 2-3 days can help seal in the color and restore that high-shine finish. It adds an extra layer of protection against daily wear and tear.
