There is nothing quite like the feeling of walking out of Nail Luxe with a fresh, flawless set of nails. You want that glossy, perfect look to last as long as possible. While our technicians use the highest quality products to ensure durability, how you care for your nails at home plays a massive role in their longevity. Here are the golden rules of manicure maintenance.
1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate The number one enemy of a manicure is dryness. When your cuticles and nail plates dry out, the coating (gel or dip) can separate from the nail, leading to lifting.
The Fix: Apply cuticle oil at least twice a day. Keep a bottle in your car, your purse, and on your nightstand. Healthy, flexible nails hold onto product much better than brittle ones.
2. Jewels, Not Tools We’ve all been there—using a fingernail to pry open a soda can, peel off a sticker, or scrape something off the counter.
The Fix: Treat your nails like jewels, not tools. Use a spoon, a knife, or the pads of your fingers instead. Using your nails as tools puts stress on the tip, causing hairline cracks that eventually lead to chips or breakage.
3. Wear Gloves for Chores Hot water and harsh chemicals are kryptonite for manicures. Prolonged exposure to water causes the natural nail to expand, and when it dries, it contracts. This movement causes the polish to loosen.
The Fix: Always wear rubber gloves when washing dishes, using cleaning sprays, or gardening. This protects both the polish and your skin.
4. Don’t Pick! If you notice a small lift or chip, the temptation to pick at it is strong. Resist! Picking forces the product off and usually tears layers of your natural nail plate with it, leaving your nails thin and damaged.
The Fix: If you have a snag, lightly file it smooth. If you have lifting, come back to Nail Luxe for a quick repair or a soak-off.
By following these simple steps, you can keep your Nail Luxe manicure looking salon-fresh until your next appointment.
