Why this worksAs temperatures drop, our nails can become brittle and dry. A consistent nail care routine helps to replenish moisture and strengthen the nail structure. By focusing on hydration and protection, you can maintain beautiful nails that can withstand the seasonal changes.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Clean Your Nails Start by removing any old polish with a gentle nail polish remover. Follow with a mild soap and warm water to clean your nails and cuticles, ensuring they are free from dirt and debris.
  2. Moisturise Cuticles Apply a nourishing cuticle oil to your cuticles. Massage it in gently to improve hydration and promote healthy nail growth while preventing dryness.
  3. Trim and File Using quality nail clippers, trim your nails to your desired length. Then, use a fine-grit file to smooth any rough edges, filing in one direction to avoid splitting.
  4. Apply a Base Coat Before adding any colour, apply a protective base coat to your nails. This helps to prevent staining from polish and adds an extra layer of moisture.
  5. Finish with Top Coat Once your colour is applied, seal everything in with a top coat. This not only adds shine but also helps to protect your nails from chipping and wear.

Where people go wrong

People often skip cleaning their nails, which can lead to trapped dirt. Not moisturising cuticles regularly can cause dryness and hangnails. Furthermore, filing in multiple directions can weaken nails, so stick to one direction for best results.

The pro moveConsider using a hydrating nail strengthener in place of a base coat for added benefits.
