Introduction
A little daily care goes a long way towards keeping your nails glossy, healthy and perfectly polished.
Whether you’ve enjoyed a soothing Manicure, a refreshing Pedicure, or a long-lasting Gel Bottle treatment, our therapists have gathered some simple tips to help your nails stay as lovely as the day you left the salon.
After Your Appointment
Your nails look beautiful and freshly finished - now it’s time to help them stay that way. If you have had a Peacci polish applied, please be aware that these may take up to an hour to full dry.
Try to keep your freshly manicured/pedicured hands/feet out of very hot water for the rest of the day and avoid steam rooms or saunas, as heat can soften the polish.
Be gentle with your hands and feet and try not to use your nails as tools to open or scrape anything - they’ll thank you for it.
If you’ve had a Gel Bottle treatment, your nails are sealed and shiny straight away, but still need a little kindness to stay strong and glossy for weeks.
Caring for Your Nails at Home
Taking a few quiet moments for your nails each day helps them stay smooth and healthy.
- Massage a drop of cuticle oil or Solar Oil into your nails and skin daily - it keeps them soft and flexible.
- Apply a rich hand or foot cream after washing to keep dryness away.
- Use a gentle nail file and shape in one direction for a smooth edge.
- If your gel polish ever starts to lift, book a professional Gel Bottle Removal - our therapists can remove it safely without harming your natural nails.
You can pick up Peacci polishes, base coats and Solar Oils from our reception - they’re the same products we use in your treatments, chosen for their kind, nourishing formulas.
What to Avoid
A few little precautions will keep your nails looking perfect for longer:
- Wear gloves to protect your nails as much as possible, especially when washing up, handling household cleaning products or gardening.
- Keep your hands out of hot water where possible
- Try not to pick or peel gel polish - we promise it’s worth the wait to let us remove it for you.
- Be careful with garden tools or harsh products that can dull your polish or dry your skin.
- Wash hands thoroughly after applying sun cream as some SPF’s have an ingredient in that can break down gel polish.
- And remember - nails are jewels, not tools!
Even the smallest habits make a big difference to how long your manicure or pedicure lasts.
Nourish & Maintain
Healthy nails start with gentle, consistent care.
Eat well, drink plenty of water and take a few minutes each day to apply oil or cream - small acts of care that keep your nails strong and your polish shining.
