Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

To clean your mani or pedi at home, follow these simple steps. And if you have to do it in public, make sure to do this first.

Jessica Johnston shares photos of her mani that are so extreme that they will seriously make you question why you’ve ever done a mani or pedi before.

Editor’s Note: This tip did not come from me. Sorry.

Her tips to prevent a mani from getting messed up are so important, that I decided to share it with all of you.

Step 1: Banish Polish Products from Your Cubicle

Where the heck is this polish juice coming from, to begin with? Where are the bottles and tubes of cleansers, removers, and so forth? This is not a spa.

If you have dirty counters, be sure to set them aside. Otherwise, when you work your fingers onto your mani-pedi area, you will dig up these bottles.

If you are on the other side of the partition from the salon, use the toilet or other room, as there’s no soap to clean this area. It’s getting smelly.

Step 2: Fix Quick Flicks

Mix some cleaning solutions and apply the solution onto your clean work area. Clean off your clean area with a clean paper towel, but be sure not to touch your nails.

Step 3: Fix Defective Hairspray

Are you using a disposable spray bottle and got it here (or on a trip to an oil company) and decided to not use the dispenser and stick to the bottle instead? Don’t waste that spray. There’s no place for this stuff in your studio setting, and it will stick to your nails.

Step 4: Cleaning the Sink

One of the best things to do after the polish or polish oil has dried is to clean the sink or restroom in which you left it. You won’t be far from an open sink, so get to it.

Step 5: Replace You Hand Wipes with the Same Washcloth You Used on Your Nails

You can reuse your plastic hand wipes to wipe after putting your polish in your cup. Pick up a good washcloth, and use it once for your mani-pedi area and twice for your public area.
