Your nails are the pretty finishing touch on your overall look, but they’re also a reflection of your health. At our Russian nail salon in NYC, we believe that beautiful nails start with strong, healthy foundations.
Whether you indulge in flawless Russian manicures every few weeks or prefer a speedy soak-off and mini manicure in between your busy day-to-day schedule, a flawless final look depends on taking care of your nails.
Brittle Nails
Frequent exposure to water, harsh chemicals, a lack of moisturizing, or vitamin deficiencies can all cause brittle nails.
To stave off broken nails, hydration is key. Massage high-quality nail oil into your nails and fingers daily, and try to avoid excessive use of acetone-based removers that dry out your nails and nail beds.
Yellowing Nails
If you usually opt for dark nail polishes without a base coat, your nails might be prone to yellowing. Smoking and fungal infections can also lead to jaundiced-looking nails.
To avoid this, let your nails breathe between manicures and try using non-toxic polishes as much as possible when you do get your nails done. If the yellowing persists, you may want to visit your local dermatologist for professional diagnosis and assistance.
White Spots (Leukonychia)
Small white spots may appear on your nails owing to minor injuries (which can be caused by biting your nails) zinc deficiency, or an allergic reaction to nail products.
These spots typically grow out over time, but maintaining a well-balanced diet with sufficient zinc and calcium can help strengthen your nails.
Looking after your nail health is a sign of well-being. If you’re looking for shiny, healthy, natural nails, visit our Russian nail salon in NYC for a Japanese naked manicure, or indulge in a precise, long-lasting Russian manicure. Book your appointment with us today.
