Jessica's Top Tips

• Never soak the hands in polish remover--it dries out the nail.

• Remove polish by stroking from the outer edge down toward the center of each nail.

• Try to use polish remover no more than once every ten days. Even non- acetone polishes can dry the nails.

• If you have peeling nails, don’t file on the peeling area. This makes the condition worse. Treat them first -- with our Fusion and Flawless treatments.

• Keep the skin around your nails moisturized. This helps prevent hangnails. (Our Phenomen Oil and Nourish products happen to be great for this.)

• It’s an old wives’ tale that nails need to "breathe". Keep them polished and they stay protected.

• Nails should be trimmed once a month to promote growth. Avoid using scissors. Use nail clippers instead.

• File by stroking the nail gently at a 45-degree angle, playing the file across the nail like a violin. Use long strokes from side to the center and back.

• Don’t use remover to thin out nail polish. If necessary to thin, use a basecoat.

• Applying treatments and polish on and under the nail seals it better.
