Following a home-care routine will ensure your manicure will last and keep your nails and hands healthy and strong.

 

• Apply Nurture Oil daily to cuticles to keep them soft and moisturised.

• Apply moisturiser to hands, after washing to lubricate and soften the skin.

• Wear rubber gloves when washing up, doing household chores and gardening.

• Keep nails at a moderate length to avoid breakages and splits.

• Do not bite your nails.

• Do not use nails as tools.

• Use non-acetone nail polish remover.

• Always apply a base coat under polish to protect the nails and prevent them becoming stained.

• Top coat polished nails to prevent chipping.

• Have regular manicures to maintain healthy nails and hands.

• Use a 180 grit file on rough edges or split nails.

• Eat healthy and drink plenty of water. The health and strength of nails depends on a good supply of protein, iron, calcium, potassium, vitamin B and iodine. A well balanced diet contains all the nutrients essential for good health.

• Mental files should be avoided as they create heat in the nails which dries out the natural moisture and weakens them.

• Every 2-4 weeks get a maintenance manicure.
