How to grow and maintain your nailsâ¨
Growing my nails and keeping them from breaking has always been something I wanted to figure out and I have finally found the best routine and I am going to break it down so you can do it too!
đ I always start by filing and buffing out my nails to the desired shape and smoothness. Removing any rough edges will keep your nails from getting caught on things like fabric and such.
⨠Next I like to go in with a nail growth/strengthener nail polish on my natural nails. I really like this one by 10 over 10 called The Rehab. You can find it at Target.
đ Cuticle care can be tedious and confusing at first BUT it is so important and thatâs why I love the Olive and June Cuticle Remover. You put that stuff on your cuticles for 5 mins and brush your nails with a small brush (I used a tooth brush for a while) and the dead skin just falls off! After that I clean up any excess skin with my cuticle pusher and nippers but usually after the Cuticle Remover there is not much left if any at all.
đŚ Now the best way to ensure your manicure lasts is by proper prep for the nail plate. I like to use the Nail Dehydrator and Nail Primer by Modelones (it can be found on Amazon for pretty affordable).
đ for a more structured natural nail (to keep the nails from breaking) use a builder gel and gel base coat. I LOVE the Beetles Builder gel. It is similar to luminary at a more affordable price point. Use the builder gel to create the perfect apex shape to make your set last! Then go in with your base coat to provide extra structure for the gel set (If you are not going to paint color over the builder and base gel but you donât like the look of shiny nails, simple buff out the shine for a very natural look). I get both of these on Amazon.
đ¸ My favorite part of my manicures is using cuticle oil! I love the Essie On a Roll cuticle oil. It is apricot scented and to die for! I reapply multiple times a day because I love it so much!
Let me know if you have any questions for doing your own sets from an at home nail girlie!đĽ°
To achieve beautiful and healthy nails, it's essential to focus on proper care and maintenance. Start by investing in quality nail tools such as a professional-quality nail file and buffing block, which will help shape your nails while reducing the risk of breakage. Incorporating cuticle care into your routine can significantly affect nail health. Products like the Olive and June Cuticle Remover can help exfoliate and soften cuticles, making it easier to maintain neat nail edges. Also, donât underestimate the power of a good base coat; products like the Modelones Nail Primer and Dehydrator prepare your nails for polish and help to enhance longevity. For those looking to strengthen their natural nails, using builder gel and gel base coats, such as Beetles Builder Gel, can provide an additional level of structure. This helps create the ideal apex shape, preventing nails from bending and breaking. Finally, reapplying cuticle oil throughout the day, such as the Essie On a Roll cuticle oil, not only nourishes the cuticles but also adds moisture to prevent hangnails and dry skin. Consistency in your nail care routine will lead to beautiful, strong nails that look salon-fresh from the comfort of your home!
