Nail Care Tips Your Manicurist Wishes You Knew
The secret to a lasting manicure begins before the polish is applied. Everyday habits such as peeling off gel, neglecting moisturisation or using your nails as tools can leave them brittle and damaged. Here are a few nail care tips your manicurist wishes you knew before your next appointment.
Stop Peeling Off Your Gel Polish
When you peel or scrape away gel polish, layers of the natural nail can come away with it. This may leave the nail plate thin, rough and more likely to split. Resist lifting loose edges or using another nail to remove the colour. Let your manicurist use the correct soak-off removal process instead.

Leave Cuticle Care to Your Manicurist
Cuticles protect the area where your nails grow, so avoid biting, pulling or aggressively pushing them back at home. If you notice a hangnail or excess dead skin, leave the tidying to your manicurist. They can soften and carefully groom the area without unnecessarily cutting or damaging the protective cuticle tissue.

Moisture Is Part of Nail Care
Frequent hand washing, sanitiser and polish removal can dry the nails and surrounding skin. Massage hand cream, cuticle oil or another suitable moisturiser into your nails and cuticles regularly, especially after removing polish. Keeping the area moisturised can help reduce brittleness, splitting and peeling between appointments.

Your Nails Are Not Tiny Tools
Using your nails to open cans, peel labels, loosen lids or scrape surfaces places unnecessary pressure on the nail plate. One awkward movement can cause the nail to chip, split or lift from the nail bed. Reach for the right tool instead—it protects both your natural nails and the manicure on top.
Mention Anything That Looks Different
Tell your manicurist if you have persistent discolouration, pain, swelling, tenderness or a nail that is lifting from the nail bed. These changes should not simply be covered with polish. Your manicurist may recommend postponing the service and asking a dermatologist to examine the nail before your next appointment.

Build In Some Polish-Free Time
Repeated gel removal, filing and buffing can leave nails dry or fragile. If your nails feel weak, consider taking a polish-free break for one to two weeks or longer. Keep them comfortably trimmed, moisturise them regularly and allow damaged areas to grow out before scheduling another gel or artificial-nail service.
