A Beginner's Guide to Getting a Great Manicure Cross Creek TX

By Stephanie Perry


Having your nails polished by a professional can be expensive. That is why it is so important to find ways to make your manicure Cross Creek TX last as long as possible. If you want to keep your digits in top condition here are some things to do and a few things that you should avoid as well.

The cleanliness of the salon is important. Not only will clean, well-maintained tools do a better job on your hands they will also not result in bacterial or fungal infections. An infection can not only be unpleasant to look at it can end up causing you to develop serious health issues.

You need to think about whether you want to keep your nails natural or if you want to have gel or acrylic ones put on. If you are athletic or if your natural nails are weak or brittle it may be difficult to prevent breakage. If you do experience breakage it will mean that your fingers do not look good no matter how much you spend on manicures. Some salons may charge fifty dollars or more depending on what you are having done so it is important to think carefully before making a final decision.

The process for all manicures is relatively similar. A technician will have you remove any old polish. They will have you soak your hands to soften the cuticles so that they can be pushed back away from the nail bed. A great nail technician will use creams or lotions to remove excess cuticles. You will want to make sure that your cuticles are not trimmed with any sharp tools. This can end up damaging them and you may end up with an infection if the tools are not clean.

Don't rush the application process. If the tech is working with gels or acrylics it will take a certain amount of time for the overlays to cure and harden properly. If you rush the process you may end up with a look that is not as perfect as it could be. Also make sure that they are not removing too much of your nail when it comes time to file down your nail and that the tip is stuck down firmly to the natural bed.

Shorter nails can look beautiful and may be easier to maintain. If the tips are not allowed to flex or bend (the way they will if they are long) then the overlay will not crack and will last longer. You will still need to get them filled and regular maintenance will still be necessary but your tips will look much better between care sessions.

Lighter, neutral colors may hide chips or other problems as long as possible. If you have natural nails, make sure that the technician uses a base coat. This can help the polish adhere more firmly and can help avoid chipping or other issues. If you have the tech use your own polish you may be able to apply additional coats if you do develop any chips. This will help keep your hands in top condition.

Even the best manicure can't help if you are rough with your nails. Soaking them in the bath or in water will soften them and make them weak. Bending them or using them to pry things open can rip or break them as well. Taking care of your nails will help them stay strong and look beautiful even between sessions at your local nail salon.
