How to Make Your Nails Last Longer Between Visits

Getting a beautiful manicure is an investment, and you want it to last as long as possible. Here are our top tips: Always wear gloves when doing dishes or cleaning — harsh chemicals are the number one enemy of nail polish. Apply cuticle oil daily to keep your nails and surrounding skin hydrated.

Avoid using your nails as tools to open cans or scratch stickers. If you have gel or dip nails, avoid prolonged exposure to hot water. Keep a small bottle of topcoat handy for quick touch-ups between salon visits.

And finally, be gentle with your hands in the first few hours after your appointment to let everything fully cure and set.
