We already know you’re a sucker for a good manicure, but how about a massage to help seal it in? Turns out massage-like stress removal is actually pretty helpful for those looking to pamper their nails! Even the most manicured and dressed-up wardrobe can need an occasional breath of fresh air when the mood strikes. After applying a manicure-in-progress to your nails, be sure to massage the digits so it stimulates collagen production in the nail’s connective tissue, resulting in stronger and healthier nails. Ready to make your manicure even more luxurious? Check out these cute tips and tricks.
Break it up: Mix up your polish to make manicures more kid-friendly. For best results, choose a classic creamy shade, like French Manicure Pink or Ambient Enrico. Then use a toothpick or chopstick to gently chip the nail polish on top of the whole nail, keeping the hole firm. Smooth it out: Scrunching up the top coat and smoothing it onto your nails is the quick way to break up any looking chapped or peeling nails. When applying the coat, rub the edge of the nail with your fingers to help complete the illusion of smooth and soft nails. Punch them right in: After applying nail polish, make sure the pieces of polish fall in the same spot before you file them down. In order to smooth polish around, and avoid rubbing your hand, use a cotton ball to slightly pierce the nail in the same spot where the polish fell on. This way, you don’t rub your skin, which can lead to soreness. Consider a UV light: Laser procedures may not be as far-fetched as they sound, considering patients often like the look of shiny nails without having to peel and scrub. Instead of using an actual laser, opt for the handy infrared pedicure, which works similarly to laser therapy, but involves extremely focused UV light instead. Many women find that the nail polish is lighter and looks smoother after just a few sessions. Finishing touch: For an instant polish touch-up, a clean nail file or scrubber can be all you need. But if you’re worried about polish peeling or chipping, another way to fix in the moment is to soak your fingernails with water and a generous amount of nail polish remover. Once dry, remove with a clean finger and let the polish set for a few hours. Set the stage: If you’re looking to get a jump on the holiday season, or simply to get you nails into the festive spirit, a glitter polish may just be the perfect gift idea. Swap your normal go-to in-office manicure for a glitter manicure to put on your plate later in the season.
