How to Care for Your Nails Between Appointments

A great manicure deserves great aftercare. Between your visits to Macon Nail, there are several simple steps you can take to extend the life of your polish and maintain nail health. First, always wear gloves when cleaning or doing dishes — harsh chemicals and prolonged water exposure are the top enemies of any manicure.

Keep your cuticles moisturized with cuticle oil, applying it at least once daily. This prevents drying and peeling that can ruin the look of your nails. Avoid using your nails as tools — no opening cans or peeling stickers! Instead, keep a small nail file handy for any minor snags.

For gel and dip nails, avoid picking or peeling when they start to lift. This can damage the natural nail underneath. Instead, schedule a fill or removal appointment with us. With proper care, your beautiful Macon Nail manicure will look fresh and fabulous until your next visit.
