How To Care For Your Nails

1. Use cuticle oil at least twice a day

This will help nourish and hydrate your nails and the skin around your nails. By doing this you will get less lifting, meaning your nails will last longer and will prevent pseudomonas aeruginosa (Greenie nails.) This is when water and bacteria gets under the nail.  It will also soften the skin around your nails, so if you have hard skin instead of picking at it use cuticle oil to soften it.

It also stimulates nail growth which is great when you are wanting to grow your nails.

2. Avoid intense heat (sunbeds/saunas) 24 hours after getting your nails done.

3. Use hand cream daily to keep your hands moisturised and hydrated.

4. Don't pick or bite your nails or the skin around your nails

5. Don't use your nails to open anything or use them as tools. 

Grab yourself a keysie so it can do the hard work for you. You will get less chips and breakages as using your nails as tools is the most common reason for nail breakages and chips.

6. Wear gloves when washing up, doing household chores or using chemicals and also when using fake tan.

7. Wash hands or wipe your nails after applying sun cream.

8. Be carful when cooking with spices and certain materials that have dye on them as with light gel colours and art they can dye the nails.

9. Book your next maintence appointment every 3-4 weeks. 

Leaving them longer is not good for your nails due to your nails growing out and the pressure on the tip of your nails.
