The day you get a fresh looking manicure the nails are in top form. Looking healthy and glowing from the massage techniques used and finished with nail treatments designed to create a trendy or classic style, it’s easy to see why regular manicures are a part of many women’s beauty routine.
Achieving a Fresh Looking Manicure
Manicures are a great way to finish the beauty routine, but they are also expensive. What are some of the ways that you can keep the manicure looking fresh?
Choose High Quality Manicure Services
Choose a nail salon that uses top quality polishes and supplies to keep a fresh looking manicure. High quality polishes are going to last longer and reduce chipping and look better, longer, to last until the next scheduled manicure. In addition to the polish, ensure that you are choosing a nail tech that uses proper technique when applying the polish and use a good top coat to seal the polish once it has been applied to the nail.
Watch Your Fingers to Sustain a Fresh Looking Manicure
There are things that we do every day that can cause the nails to chip or the manicure to lose that ‘new’ appearance. Wear gloves while doing household chores and dishes and do other activities carefully, like sports or typing on the computer. Watching your fingers can help to extend the life of the manicure.
Use Cuticle Oil
One of the reasons that the manicure may begin to lose its shine is due to the oil that is lost as the skin becoming dehydrated. You can lose the moisture around the nail causing the appearance of the manicure to become tired, but luckily, there is an easy fix. Using cuticle oil, you can massage the cuticles and create a new appearing manicure in a matter of seconds.
Apply Top Coat at-Home
Before your next manicure you might find that the nails have lost their shine. You can easily revamp the manicure and bring back the new and fresh look to the nails by applying a simple coat of top coat at-home. It’s important to avoid applying top coat more than once before the next appointment at the salon, as the nail polish can be put on too thick, but applying it once is going to help to extend the life of the nail color and avoid chips, giving you the freshly manicured look you want, for longer.
