Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

Tie your nail clippers

If your nail clippers break after a few dozen uses, then change them out. You can find clippers that have a solid steel action, such as the Johnson’s Iron Clipper or the Hoyt Clipper, and they will last far longer than plastic clippers.

However, replace them before the clippers need to be fixed because after a long trip or maybe a workout session, they will rust!

A follow-up treatment

If your polish tears, it will hopefully be fixed in a very few days, but before you do that, try applying a coat of another polish. If a sponge erodes it, then use something softer, like Vaseline.

Comforts

Remove nail polish as soon as possible. Because it can break apart and cause infection in your nail, it should be removed quickly, which is why you want to remove polish as soon as possible.

— Keep the legs clean

If you use a nail file while you nail is drying (or other polish polish can be rubbing down the edges of your nails), you can transfer bacteria onto your nails.

— Choose your nail polish wisely

As usual, try to limit the number of nails you have to take care of, and definitely don’t add nail polish every time you move.

— Seal the nail

Vaseline is a great, easy way to seal your nails. If you want to get really fancy, you can attach tiny laces to the base of your nail, and using a scarf as a clip on the ends and a thin rope around the outer edge, you can tie this zip-up around your nail to secure it. It will look cooler than any laces you’ve had before.

— Avoid flat cleanse

It’s so easy for mold to build up on your nails after regular skincare products and synthetic cuticle oil, so before you throw anything at your nails, wash the surface of your nails and cuticles.

— The brand of your cuticle oil

Not every woman will choose an oil that goes on that well, but to make sure you do not create a bad cuticle, use a good brand of cuticle oil. Most of the people I’ve been speaking with find that Burt’s Bees Patcholis Oil from Walmart is the best for really good healthy manicures and cuticles.

— Wash your hands before you get your nails done

Clean your hands with the exfoliating scrub from your favorite cosmetic store or take care of yourself by sticking with baby oil or rubbing lotion all over your hands.

After

— Polish your fingers

Before you nail is removed, let it dry and give your nails a day or two to dry completely.

— Use some pet toothpaste

If you prefer not to use a wide toothbrush for your manicure, pick up some pet toothpaste from the store and brush them along the fingernails to have clean pads to file down the polish.

— Still leave the polish on

Cuticles will dry naturally, but after an hour or two, you may be tempted to apply your finish. However, cuticles can be thin and delicate, and take a few minutes to dry after polish is removed.

— Add some paste

Grab some well-moisturized nail polish remover to apply as a base coat and let your polish dry thoroughly before adding a base coat, such as Zoya Liquid Edge, Urban Decay Drag Line, Nails Inc.”Natural White,” or Caviar.

Apply your top coat, and let it dry completely before adding a top coat, like Nails Inc.’s Purserra.

If the polish falls off

Either really quickly or really slowly, all nail polish at the top of your nails falls off. This is a special kind of wound where the nail breaks. This can be seen by looking at how it is worn: in shiny areas, it will wear down smooth and nice, but it will fall apart easily.

If your polish falls off quickly, it will come off quickly on contact with air or hot water. If it breaks slowly, it will wear down unevenly. Use well-moisturized nail polish remover to remove it.
