Having well-groomed nails can enhance your overall appearance and boost your confidence. At Spa Durban, we believe in the power of beautiful nails and offer expert nail care services to help you achieve stunning, long-lasting manicures and pedicures. In this blog post, we'll share essential tips and tricks for maintaining healthy nails and ensuring your nail treatments stand the test of time.

Start with a Clean Canvas:

Before applying any polish or treatment, it's crucial to start with clean nails. Remove any old polish and gently clean your nails using a gentle nail polish remover. This will ensure that your new manicure or pedicure adheres properly and lasts longer.

Shape and File:

Choose the nail shape that suits you best, whether it's square, oval, or almond-shaped. Trim your nails to your desired length and use a file to shape them. Opt for a gentle file to avoid splitting or damaging the nails. Remember to file in one direction to prevent weakening the nail structure.

Don't Skip the Base Coat:

Applying a base coat is often overlooked but is an essential step in achieving long-lasting manicures and pedicures. A base coat not only helps the polish adhere better but also protects your nails from staining and discoloration. Invest in a good-quality base coat and apply it before adding any colour.

Perfect Your Polish Application Technique:

When applying polish, less is more. Apply thin, even coats of polish to prevent streaks and smudges. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next one. Use a gentle touch and steady strokes for a flawless finish. For precise application, start in the centre of the nail and then carefully paint the sides.

Seal the Deal with a Top Coat:

A top coat is your secret weapon for long-lasting manicures and pedicures. It adds shine, protects the colour, and extends the wear of your polish. Apply a top coat once your coloured polish has dried completely to seal and protect your nails. Reapply the top coat every few days to maintain the glossy finish.

Maintain Your Manicure and Pedicure:

To prolong the life of your manicure and pedicure, take care of your nails between salon visits. Moisturize your hands and feet daily to prevent dryness and promote healthy nail growth. Avoid using your nails as tools to prevent breakage. Wear gloves when doing household chores or tasks that may expose your nails to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.

Achieving gorgeous, long-lasting manicures and pedicures is within your reach with the right care and attention. Follow these tips to maintain healthy nails and ensure your nail treatments at Spa Durban stay flawless for as long as possible.
