What Smart Women Know About Getting The Best Manicure Cross Creek Tx

By Stephanie Perry


Having your nails polished by a professional can be expensive. That is why it is so important to find ways to make your manicure Cross Creek TX last as long as possible. If you want to keep your digits in top condition here are some things to do and a few things that you should avoid as well.

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.

To make your polish last as long as possible, make sure that the surface is completely clear of oils or lotions. These may end up on your hands when the professional uses skin lotion or cuticle oil on your hands prior to working on the nails themselves. If there is any trace of grease or oil the polish will not stick properly and your manicure will not last nearly as long.

If you are having acrylics or gels put on the technician will need to grind down the surface of your nail. This is so that once the overlay is applied the nail will not be excessively thick. Make sure that when the grinder is being used that the technician does not take too much of your natural nail off. If you end up damaging the nail bed you can end up developing an infection.

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.

Of course you need to make sure that you do your part to keep things looking good. Problems tend to pop up when women soak their hands in water for extended periods of time. Prying things open can also stress your nails and cause them to break or tear.
