Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!

Drinking plenty of water is key to maintaining nail health. Keeping your nails hydrated prevents brittleness and breakage, so make sure you’re sipping enough H2O throughout the day! (Pro tip: always have your water bottle by your side!}

Love Your Biotin

Biotin, also known as vitamin H, is an absolute must for strong nails. Consider incorporating biotin-rich foods like eggs and legumes (think lentils, chickpeas, beans) into your diet, or check with your doctor about supplements. Your nails (and body) will thank you!

Choose Gentle Products

Be mindful of the products you use on your nails. Opt for acetone-free removers to avoid weakening your nails, and when cleaning, be sure to wear gloves to protect them from harsh chemicals! Also, reach for non-toxic nail polishes. We love using OPI products for their high-quality and gentle formulas. The 2024 OPI Summer Collection, My Me Era, celebrates self-expression with a bold palette, and these bright and shimmery nail colors will help you shine all summer long!

Give Your Nails a Break

While nail polish can be fun, your nails need some breathing room! After you go through your wear of polish, give them a break for a few days to let them recover. This helps maintain their strength and shine. 

File with Care

When filing nails, always file in one direction instead of a back-and-forth motion to prevent weakening. Also, keep them on the shorter side to reduce the risk of breakage. Have fun trying different styles, from oval to almond to square, and find what suits you best! Or you could just come in for an appointment, and we’ll make sure to file them to perfection.
