Guide To No-Chip Manicures
To your rescue ladies, here is the ultimate guide to no-chip manicure!
1. For nails
Nails might form a very small part of us but they have a great influence on our image. While a no-chip manicure will make them fabulous, it will be restricted only to the outside image and not the inside. Regular no-chip manicures will make your nails get used to the gel layer and make them weak inside. Once you have opted for the path of no-chip manicures, they don’t leave you with the option to come back. Those days are gone for good! Here are the post No Chip Manicure care tips for you, to make your nails stay healthy always!
2. Moisturise
Nails should always be moisturized to maintain their healthy texture. However, it becomes especially important after a moisture-seeking manicure like the no-chip manicure. To retain the moisture, apply nail creams twice a day and try to keep them on for as long as you can. A good time will be when you are busy watching your favorite soaps! Try to get creams that contain vitamin E, urea, phospholipids, or lactic acid as their key components.

5. A Break
Everything requires a break. At some point in time, your nails will have had enough and will need a break. Give them some open air. You can also cut your nails short and help them to grow healthily. Take a break from long nails and nail paints and be amazed to see them come back better!
6. Healthy Meal
To have healthy nails you need to have healthy meals for them. Have foods rich in proteins and fibers. Celebrity nail stylists recommend including blueberries, strawberries, and bananas among fruits, leafy greens such as spinach and broccoli, and whole grains such as brown rice in your diet.
7. For Cuticles

8. Apply Cuticle Oil
Moisture is extremely important to cuticles as well. Massage cuticle oils 2 times daily! If oils are too much of a hassle for you, a skin moisturizer or petroleum jelly will be a good alternative.
9. Hot Wax Treatments

Do's and Don'ts
Here are some dos and don'ts that you must know for beautiful nails.
- Do make sure to apply sunscreen before the UV exposure. UV exposures without sunscreens will significantly raise your risk for skin cancer.
- Do opt for safe nail polishes.
- Don’t do dishes or wash clothes with bare hands. The chemicals involved can be extremely drying and will degrade the quality of your nails.
- Don’t peel off the nail paints by yourself. Gel nail paints adhere to your nails and also bring the top layer of your nails if you peel them off. Instead, visit a salon to get them removed safely.
Note
For color removal, you can also dip cotton in acetone and wrap it around until the color comes off. We suggest visiting the salon though since proper application and removal of gel nail paints are extremely important and doing so will minimize its side effects.
