What is one thing that can totally wreck a well-put-together look in an instant without you even realizing it? A messy manicure. Your hands are a part of nearly everything you do and that keeps your nails in the spotlight virtually all the time. How you care for your nails says a lot about you, even when you’re not thinking about them at all, and a professional manicure and pedicure can make all the difference.
Importance Of Regular Nail Care
Regular nail care is about more than just your appearance. Unkempt nails could be a hazard to your health. Their job is to protect the tips of your fingers from injury but left ragged and untidy they can collect a lot of germs and bacteria that could make you sick. Jagged untrimmed edges can snag and break or tear your nail, and if the nail bed is damaged it poses a risk of infection. Ungroomed cuticles can turn into painful hangnails with an additional risk of infection. And visiting the salon regularly allows your manicurist to spot any potential problems with your nails, such as nail fungus before it gets out of control.
Nail Trends For Spring And Summer
The change of seasons always inspires a fresh crop of new nail trends and this spring and summer will not disappoint.
Textured Nails- Three-dimensional nail designs with interesting textures are in for spring. Cable knit, chevron, lace, and even faux water droplets are among the trendiest textures.
Mini French Manicure- French tips are going to be a major trend, as usual, only much, much shorter. You still get the classy look of French tips in a mini version that is more practical for working with your hands. This is a great look for natural nails.
Chrome- A chrome mirror finish showing up in various colors, though metallics like gold, silver, and bronze are the most popular. Want something even bolder? Try cobalt blue in a chrome finish.
Jelly Nails- We’ve been seeing celebrities wearing this look and now it’s taking off as one of the season’s hottest trends. The wash of super glossy, bright, translucent color has a bit of a nostalgic feel reminiscent of jelly shoes and jelly bracelets, which coincidentally have been having a moment of their own.
Floral Nail Art- It just wouldn’t be spring without some pretty floral nail art. This season’s florals are low-key with a nude base and simple spring flower decals. As we move toward summer the look will stay the same but with the flowers of the season.
Gel Nails
How would you like your natural nails to look gorgeous chip-free nails for up to 2 weeks, or more? If you do you’ll want to get a gel manicure. A gel manicure uses a special gel nail polish that requires a special light to cure and harden the polish. This process makes it much more durable than regular nail polish which can start chipping after just a couple of days. Gel polish will keep your manicure looking great for weeks. Gel polish also gives natural nails a sturdier feel making it a great choice for those with thin, weak nails.
Acrylic Nails
The gold standard in nail enhancements is acrylic nails. Acrylic nails give you the ability to instantly have beautiful long nails. Not only that, but acrylic nails hide any cosmetic imperfections in your natural nails to give you a perfect manicure. They can be customized to the exact length and shape that you want and further enhanced with the nail art of your choice. When expertly applied acrylic nails look completely natural and require only minimal maintenance. You’ll need to keep your polish maintained as needed and your nails will need to be filled approximately every 2-3 weeks depending on how quickly your natural nails grow. With acrylic nails, your hands will always look neat and professional.
Add On Treatments
There are some treatments that you might want to consider adding to your mani-pedi to make it extra special. A paraffin dip helps to add moisture to your skin, seal it in, and at the same time relax muscles, soothe inflamed joints, and increase blood flow. Increase the benefits of your pedicure by opting for a detox pedicure. This pedicure not only helps to soften and beautify your feet it also works to help rid your body and feet of toxins. It improves circulation and refreshes tired feet and legs. And after a winter stuck inside boots, it’s just what your feet need to prepare for sandal season.
