That's Girl Math ✨
Get yourself a good Nail File 💆♀️
When your first getting your nails done, using a 180/180 grit nail file is great. It's perfectly safe to use on gel nails and gently on acrylics. Lower grits could be too rough and weaken nails that may already be fairly brittle. Also handy for any touch ups post appointment! 👀
Apply a Rubber Base Coat ✨
Try Halo Gel Polish Rubber Base Coat for brittle, thin nails. It prevents chipping, stress, and lifting with its flexible formula. Also great as an alternative base for bright or highly pigmented colors to prevent staining. This is one of those, do it now, and save yourself time later kind of tips!
Oil your Cuticles 🍊
A simple one! Oil those cuticles, a quick 2 minute thing you can do before bed every night! Not much effort required at all. It nourishes and moisturises cuticles and skin, improving the health and appearance of your clients nails and reduces the likelihood of your polish chipping or peeling.
Apply a Top Coat 🎀
Similarly to ensuring you apply a base coat, using a top coat seals in your nail polish, adding an extra layer of protection against chips and scratches from everyday things. It also enhances the shine and vibrancy of your manicure, making it look fresh and polished for longer.
Avoid using your Nails as Tools 🎀
We know it's tempting to use your nails to use your nails as tools, but once you have your own Halo Helper Keysie, attach it to your keys so it's always there without a thought! It helps to assist with endless fiddly tasks such as opening keyrings and cans, lifting picture frame flaps, piercing food packets, opening parcels, and even finding the end of Sellotape! Break hearts, not nails, handle your manicure with care 💔
