While we’d love to see you every two to three weeks, we know that sometimes busy schedules make that impossible. If you’re looking for ways to make your manicure last longer this summer, you’ve come to the right spot! Here are some simple rules you can follow so that the sand and sun don’t ruin that beautiful polish shade.
- Keep those cuticles healthy by applying nightly cuticle cream. Cuticles are delicate but play a big role in protecting nail growth from bacteria. They act as a barrier so healthy cuticles actually mean healthy overall nails!
For recommendations on what type of cuticle cream works best, ask one of the nail professionals at Labella Mobile Nail Spa. We have some tried and true favorites that won’t break the bank.
- Apply a nail top coat before active summer days. Are you hitting the pool all day? Headed to the beach? Spending a weekend camping? The outside variables of chlorine, sand, and dirt can quickly break down your beautiful manicure and have it looking rough within hours. The best way to create another defensive barrier is to apply a generous coat of clear nail top coat on the top of your manicure or pedicure. It may not prevent all chips and fades, but it’ll be better than nothing.
- Hydrate. Yes, drinking water helps prolong your manicure and pedicure believe it or not. Swimming in water like oceans or pools can cause nails to expand and become softer, making them more susceptible to premature chipping and breaking. Ironically, drinking water can actually make your nails stronger and more resistant to bending and ultimately chipping nail polish off. So, as with most health advice… drink more water!
We hope you continue enjoying these hot months and are expressing your summer vibes through the beautiful polish colors that shine best during June, July, and August.
