Think of your manicure like a fresh haircut\u2014it needs a little maintenance to stay sharp. This guide&#8217;s got all the simple do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts you need to keep your nails happy and healthy between your appointments at Miss Nail&#8217;s.<\/p><h6>The &#8220;Do&#8217;s&#8221;: Habits for Happy Nails<\/h6><h5>1. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!<\/h5><p>This is the single most important thing you can do for your nails. Dry nails and cuticles get brittle, which leads to breaks and hangnails. To keep them flexible, rub some cuticle oil or hand cream on your nails and cuticles every single day. We highly recommend keeping a bottle of Miss Nail&#8217;s Intensive Cuticle Oil on your nightstand and their rich Hydrating Hand Cream in your bag.<\/p><h5>2. Top Coat is Your Best Friend<\/h5><p>Give your manicure a boost! Even if you got a gel manicure, a fresh top coat can add a new layer of protection and bring back that fresh-from-the-salon shine. Just add a thin, fresh coat every two to three days to keep it looking pristine and chip-free. Pick up a bottle of Miss Nail&#8217;s Glossy Top Coat on your next visit\u2014it&#8217;s designed to lock in color and shine!<\/p><h5>3. Put on Some Gloves<\/h5><p>Your nails are not meant to be submerged in harsh chemicals or water for long periods. When you&#8217;re washing dishes, cleaning, or doing any kind of work around the house, put on some gloves. It\u2019s an easy habit to get into and will save your manicure from early chipping and peeling.<\/p><h5>4. File the Right Way<\/h5><p>If you get a little snag or chip, it&#8217;s tempting to file away at it, but be careful! Prevent splitting by always filing in one direction\u2014from the side to the center. No back-and-forth sawing motion! A smooth, gentle motion is all you need to fix a small issue.<\/p><h5>5. Be Gentle!<\/h5><p>Your nails and cuticles are sensitive, so treat them with care. Use a soft brush to gently clean under your nails and a wooden or silicone pusher to push back your cuticles after a warm shower. Remember, the aftercare advice from your manicurist is key to a long-lasting look!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-baa9421 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"baa9421\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c2324e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2c2324e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6>The &#8220;Don&#8217;ts&#8221;: Habits to Avoid<\/h6><h5>1. Don&#8217;t Use Your Nails as Tools<\/h5><p>It&#8217;s tempting, but please don&#8217;t use your nails to pry open a soda can or scrape a sticker off a bottle. That&#8217;s a surefire way to cause breaks, chips, and damage.<\/p><h5>2. Don&#8217;t Bite or Pick<\/h5><p>This is a no-go! Stop biting or picking at your nails! It&#8217;s not only a bad habit, but it can also lead to infections and makes your nails look uneven.<\/p><h5>3. Don&#8217;t Peel Off Your Polish<\/h5><p>This is a big one. Peeling off polish or gels seriously damages your nails by stripping layers of your natural nail along with the color. Just use the proper remover, okay?<\/p><h5>4. Don&#8217;t Ignore Ingredients<\/h5><p>Be mindful of products that have really harsh chemicals. Look for &#8220;3-free,&#8221; &#8220;5-free,&#8221; or &#8220;7-free&#8221; polishes. The polishes and products used at Miss Nail&#8217;s are always chosen with your long-term nail health in mind!<\/p><h5>5. Don&#8217;t Soak Your Nails<\/h5><p>Avoid soaking your nails in water before a manicure. They&#8217;ll expand, and then your polish will chip as they shrink back down. Your manicurist at Miss Nail&#8217;s already knows how to prep your nails properly without soaking.<\/p><h5>Conclusion<\/h5><p>See? Nail Care Tips These little habits can make a huge difference in how healthy and great your nails look! By following these simple do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts and using the right products, you&#8217;ll be able to enjoy your flawless manicure for much longer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0eae047 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0eae047\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dcc6ed8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-starbelly-faq\" data-id=\"dcc6ed8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"starbelly-faq.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n        <ul class=\"sb-faq\">\n            <li>\n                <div class=\"sb-question\">\n          <h4>\n            <span >\n  \t\t\t\t\t\tWhy does my manicure chip so quickly after the salon?  \t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n          <\/h4>\n          <span class=\"sb-plus-minus-toggle sb-collapsed\"><\/span>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"sb-answer sb-text\">\n          <div >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Chipping happens due to daily habits like washing dishes without gloves or using nails as tools.
