5 Top tips for happy nails and long lasting nail art

1. Use cuticle oil daily

Using the cuticle oil daily helps to stimulate growth, keeps them strong and healthy and also improves the overall appearance of your nails. For the best results apply it before bed; massage the oil into the base of the nails and then it has all night to work it's magic.

2.Get your gloves out

When your washing the dishes, cleaning the bathroom or doing the gardening be sure to wear your rubber gloves!

If you haven't got any then be sure to invest in a pair, your hands and nails will thank you for it! When your skin comes onto contact with cleaning liquids and detergents it can be very damaging to your skin and nails which will lead to dry skin and weaker nails as they are full of chemicals.

3. Moisturise

Your hands are often subjected to lots of things that'll dry them out, so why not show your hands you care by treating your hands to a mini massage with a moisturisng hand cream.

Apply a thick, velvety moisturising cream each time you wash your hands to leave skin feeling soft and supple.

4.Don't pick your varnish!

When you have a nail art service with Truly Exquisite your design will last from 1-2 weeks, however It's inevitable, if you are wearing nail polish it will eventually start to come off. Please remove your nail varnish gently with an acetone free nail varnish remover rather that picking it off with your teeth as this can take the top layer of your nail off!

Alternatively you can book an appointment for a new nail art design and we will do this for you.

5. Schedule in regular TLC sessions for your nails

General maintenance, cuticle care and filing is key for healthy nails. Why not book yourself in and we'll take care of it for you.
