Protect your nails!

Keeping your nails healthy and long is hard to do. Between work, cleaning, pets, kids, life and everything in-between, it can seem like your nails will always be weak and break constantly. Thankfully there are solutions for weak and brittle nails such as daily protection. By coating your nails from getting polished manicures and putting a clear coat of polish on in-between professional appointments, you give your nails added strength and protection. If you just do clear coat polish or even a clear strengthener you will see a HUGE difference over a short amount of time. My favorite is a keratin treatment from Nail-Aid which involves putting two coats to start, and then simply adding a coat every other day. After a week, remove EVERYTHING and start from scratch. I follow the same routine for other clear coats as well, unless instructed otherwise by the product. There are many choices on the market, find one for you that works best! It may take some trial-and-error testing because everyone's nail plates are unique! I also always suggest avoiding anything with harmful ingredients such as formaldehyde in brands like Nail Tek.

Hope this helps your nail growth journey!

Nails Nails Nails!

I never thought I would grow up to be as obsessed over my nails as I currently am! I used to be a nail biter who only knew of cheap drug store nail polish, and nothing about cuticle oils and creams!

Years later...I wouldn't even recognize my old hands! Being in the industry I have learned so much valuable knowledge while also seeing first-hand what a lot of people outside of the industry do not know. Whether it's from the lack of time to research, the intimidating amount of information already on the web, or general misinformation, I have seen that a lot of people want to have healthy and strong nails but have no idea where to start.

This is where I would like my blog to come in and help people out! As a licensed nail technician, I want to help people have good maintenance habits at home and learn how to protect their nails in-between their manicure and pedicure services! Knowing what products to use, and methods of care and protection go a long way with nail health.

I hope you'll join me on my nail career journey via my blog and learn some tips and magic nail tricks along the way!

Look forward to more,
