There's nothing like fresh, perfectly polished nails — and with a little aftercare, you can keep them looking salon-perfect for much longer. Most chips and lifting come down to everyday habits that are easy to adjust.
Here's how our nail therapists in Warsaw recommend caring for your manicure.
Apply cuticle oil daily
Cuticle oil keeps the nail and surrounding skin hydrated, which prevents brittleness and helps polish adhere longer. It's the single best habit for healthy, long-lasting nails.
Wear gloves for chores
Hot water, detergents and cleaning products are the enemy of a manicure. Wearing rubber gloves for washing up and cleaning protects both your polish and your nails.
Be gentle with your hands
Use the pads of your fingers, not your nails, to open and scratch things. Treating nails as tools is the fastest way to chip them.
Keep nails moisturised
Hand cream throughout the day keeps skin and nails supple, reducing peeling and breakage around the polish.
Book timely maintenance
Regular appointments keep nails neat and healthy. Ask your therapist about longer-wearing finishes if you want results that hold for a couple of weeks.
