Maintaining the NATURAL & FRESH MANICURE You've just gotten a manicure and your hands and nails look great. Before you head back to the salon for your next appointment, read through our suggestions to make sure you're doing everything you can at home to keep your hands and nails looking just as fresh and polished as the day you got your manicure. Listen to your Sol Oasis nail stylist, Carefully follow your manicurist recommendations for at-home care. If you have weak, brittle nails and she recommends you use a nail strengthener at home, follow her instructions. If your nails have ridges and she recommends you use ridge filler, invest in one. Treat your nails with care; Wear gloves when gardening or exposing hands to water for extended periods of time. Do not use your nails as tools. Use a soda can opener for pop-tops, for example. Use topcoat to help nail polish last; Chipping nail polish seems to be chronic problems for nail clients. Solve the dilemma by applying a layer of topcoat 24 hours after your service and to the free edge every couple of days. That should double the duration of your manicure and keep your nails looking shiny and new. Mend a chipped nail; So you've applied topcoat, but you still managed to chip a nail. What to do? Using your fingertip, dab a small amount of polish remover on the affected area and lightly smooth it over. Re-coat with polish and topcoat. Keep your hands well hydrated; It's important to keep your nails looking great, but your hands are important, too. Use a cream or lotion daily to keep them hydrated and smooth. If you're often outdoors, use a lotion with an SPF of at least 15. Remember to help the cuticles; Use cuticle oil or treatment religiously. It keeps cuticles supple and moisturize and helps keep pesky hangnails and dry skin at bay. Gently push back cuticles with a orange wood stick, washcloth, or the ball of your finger, not with the free edge of your nail. File your nails with care; CommentsLeave a Reply |
