How To Extend The Life Of Your Manicure Cross Creek TX

By Stephanie Perry


If you want your nails to look their best, nothing is better for doing that than a good professional manicure. A good manicure Cross Creek TX will leave you with gorgeous looking nails that are healthy as well. Here are some tips and tricks that you can use to get your nails looking their best.

Anyone who has had a bad manicure can tell you that it simply will not last as long as one that is performed by a skilled and experienced technician. Look for a salon that has a good reputation and one that uses clean tools that are well maintained. The presence of an autoclave or other sterilizing device is a good sign. Just make sure that the tools are cleaned in between each use so that bacteria is not being spread from one person to another.

One thing to think about is whether you want to keep your nails natural or whether you want the manicurist to put on an overlay. There are two main types of overlays that can be applied. One is made of acrylic and the other is made from a gel that uses UV radiation to harden it. The advantage to acrylic or gel nails is that they are harder than natural nails and are more resistant to chipping or breaking.

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.

While a tech will need to do a certain amount of grinding before they apply a gel or acrylic tip you will want to make sure that they do not do an excessive amount of grinding. This may end up causing your nail bed to bleed. If this happens you may end up developing an infection under the artificial nail. In some extreme cases it may mean that the artificial tips may need to come off and it may take quite some time for your hands to recover.

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.

You will want to make sure that you take good care of your nails between sessions. Don't soak your hands in water since this can damage the polish and weaken the nail underneath. Don't use them to pry or open items since this can also tear or break your nails. If you take care, you may be amazed at how long your hands will stay looking and feeling beautiful.
