Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

Sometimes it feels like every woman wants the perfect manicure, the ultra-full polish job, the nail art that says, “I’ve had a really rough day!” Who hasn’t counted down the days until spring, and — ouch! — must tackle some thin, bad-to-the-touch nails before bed.

Here, we reveal three easy ways to get excellent nails while also staying healthy (no, the bad news is the old tip hurts).

Fast & Tidy: Cuticles shouldn’t look or feel overly worn and softened, so before you whip on the polish, clean your hands with warm soapy water for a few minutes. Place your cuticles in a bowl of warm water (not hot, just warm) and place a small section in front of your cuticle scissors. Roll your cuticles under the scissors to encourage friction and some natural moisture.

Don’t Overdo It: It’s always nice to be in control of your beauty routine, especially when it comes to nails. If you don’t like your nails or want more dense, elegant styles, make sure to pull back the super-full polish. If you want to give your nails a little break, run the polish under warm water or flip the manicure halfway through. And you might want to skip the artificial red-ish polish, too. While it’s great for drawing attention to your beauty face, it’s not the healthiest option for long-term nail longevity.
