Nail rescue....

Looking after your nails, ensures a polished and groomed look ! Your hands are being used every day so some TLC from time to time is much need to ensure healthy nails.

You have to give nails a chance to rest from week to week, so a full manicure once a week is more than enough, (if you suffer from damaged nails).  Once they are repaired once every 4-6 weeks is perfect.

I have been helping a new client get her nails in tip top condition over a three week period.  So here it is...



                                               Before                                             After   





Products i used



Clairns hand and nail treatment cream
Jessica phenomenal oil
Jessica nourish cuticle softener
Jessica nail file 
Cuticle pusher and cuticle clippers.



Nails before the treatment













1) For each treatment, i started with exfoliating the hands, and rinsing.
Filing the nails short, and soaking them in water with antibacterial lotion.


                                          

   After treatment 1






2) I then pushed back the cuticles, and trimmed them to get rid of excess skin. Nourishing them with cuticle cream.
3) A hand massage after really helped stimulate blood flow to the nails and hand, and soothed any tension out of fingers.
4) Cuticle oil around the nail bed then, will help add more moisture.
5) Finally a base coat and natural nail colour, to add shine. After each week, you can add more colour as the nails improve in appearance.

Last treatment - treatment 3



To really look after your nails, it is important to give them some love from time to time.  A gently file once a week to keep them short, will prevent breakage and splitting.  If you suffer from very dry cuticles, a little cuticle cream or oil around them every night will help to repair them.  Once nails are repaired, using the cuticle oil every other night  will ensure they are keep in good condition. (Not forgetting hand cream as often as possible as well).
