Home Care

Here's how to make your fabulous Nail Treatment last even longer...!

A signature of Polished and Pampered nail care is that nails keep their looks from manicure to manicure – as long as two weeks.

To achieve this you just need to apply a little home maintenance. Its quite simple once you know what you are doing. Just keep your nail polished, filed and hydrated and you'll soon have fanastic nails!

Here’s what you need to be doing at home:

Massage in a nail oil daily around the cuticles. We suggest our Phenomen Oil - it has a great mix of natural oils that will really nourish and treat your nail from deep inside.

Apply a creamy rich moisturiser after every time you wash your hands. Our favourite is the Hand and Body Moisturising Emulsion because it protects from sun damage while being extra rich feeling. Plus it soaks in quickly ensuring you don't get that greasy after feeling.

Make sure to apply one coat of Top Coat the day after your manicure. This makes sure your polish is sealed well so it can last longer. We absolutely recommend Top Priority because it contains Keratin Amino Acids to strengthen your nails and a ceramic glaze to really protect them!

Every 3-4 days apply one coat of your colour and top coat to refresh the manicure and protect the tips from everyday wear and tear.

If you see any rough edges or chips appearing, gently file them away before they turn into larger breaks or cracks.

Book in for your next manicure after two weeks. Regular professional care will improve the health of your nails so they look just how you want them to.

These few steps will keep your nails looking immaculate until your next manicure!

Did you know?

With age, your nails become drier and drier. This of course results in problems such as your nails breaking and snapping but it also means nail polish will lift and chip off quicker! Use your oil and hand lotion everyday and your polish will stay beautiful much longer!

Tops Tips...!

Never soak your hands in polish remover. It dries out the nail and will undo all the good you have done with your moisturising!
Give your nails a light, quick scrub each day in the shower. It will promote healthy growth and keep your cuticles tidy.
Try to use polish remover no more than once every ten days. Even non-acetone polish removers that promise to be gentle will eventually dry out your nails.
If you have peeling nails, don’t file on the peeling area. This will make your peeling worse. Clip your nails rather than file and treat them with a base coat especially for peeling nails. We recommend our Fusion Base and Top Coat because it will bonds your nail’s delicate layers using rubberised resins so they stop peeling. It also uses Vitamins A and D to strengthen and condition your nails.

Keep the skin around your nails moisturized. This helps prevent hangnails (our Phenomen Oil and Nourish products are great for this).

It’s an old wives’ tale that nails need to “breathe”. Keep them polished and they will stay protected.

Remove polish by stoking from the outer edge down toward the centre of each nail.

Natural nails should be trimmed once a month to promote growth. Avoid using scissors. Use nail clippers instead.

File by stroking the nail gently at a 45-degree angle, playing the file across the nail like a violin. Use long strokes from side to the centre and back. Only file in one direction or you may cause peeling by ‘roughing up’ the edge.

Don’t use polish remover to thin out a thick nail polish. If polish clogs, add your favourite basecoat.
