Emma's Salon advice
How to Look After Your Nails Between Appointments
Simple nail care habits to keep hands and feet looking neat between treatments.
Daily habits matter
Healthy-looking nails are supported by simple daily care. Keep nails clean, avoid biting or picking and use cuticle oil if your nails or cuticles feel dry.
Moisturising your hands regularly can also make your manicure look fresher for longer.
Protect your nails
Wear gloves when cleaning, gardening or washing up. Water and cleaning products can dry out the nails and skin around them.
Avoid using nails to open cans, scrape labels or pick at things, as this can cause chips and breaks.
Book maintenance at the right time
If your polish has grown out or your nails are catching, book a refresh rather than trying to fix everything yourself.
Quick questions
