HAVE A SET AFTERCARE ROUTINE FOR YOUR NAILS

When you have any type of nail enhancements, try your best to avoid intense hydration, like long baths and saunas, for at least 24 hours. While the polish may be dry enough when you leave the salon, it might not be set yet. Remember, nail enhancements use a stronger formula than regular polish, so it’ll take a while to fully dry.


If you use too much water on your hands right after your manicure, you might warp or damage the polish. It also might separate from the nail. Additionally, the color can fade prematurely. If your hands are going to be interacting with harsh chemicals after the salon, try using gloves to protect your nails.


In a nutshell, treat your manicured nails delicately when you first get them done, and you’ll have a longer, healthier wear.


Make it an important part of your aftercare routine that you’re moisturizing your hands and cuticles. Cuticles inspire nail growth, so keeping them healthy is a must. A great way to do that is to regularly apply lotion or cream to your hands. That’s it! While it’s an easy step to perform, it’s critical you don’t miss it.


Massaging moisturizer into your cuticles will keep them healthy. In addition, cuticle oil will help lock in moisture and promote growth. Keeping your hands moisturized will help your nail beds. Plus, when you use nail polish removers like acetone, it can make your hands very dry. If they’re properly moisturized, this won’t affect your hands as much.


You’ll see throughout the rest of this post that moisture is a must, no matter what other aftercare steps you’re fitting into your routine. A lot of nail care products tend to dry out the skin with their strong formulas. Don’t let your actual nails follow suit—they’ll only become more tedious to maintain with no moisture.


This is an important aftercare step: Be sure to inspect your nails periodically. After you leave the salon, with any type of manicure, nail lifting can happen. This is a random occurrence, when the nail lifts. They usually resemble a half moon shape at the base of your nail.


I have a nail lifting right now on my thumb. Why this is a cause of concern (and why I’m going to my nail tech ASAP), is because nail lifting can lead to a bacterial infection. If you’re weighing down nails with something like polish, that bacteria will get trapped.


When your nail tech pushes on cuticles during the manicure, they’re ensuring that your nail plates aren’t lifting. So, when you leave the shop and take your polish off, be sure to look out for lifting. If you find that your nails are, a quick visit to your nail tech or refresh of cuticle care should take care of it.
