Start with the perfect canvas – scrub your nails with a nail brush and our Hand & Body Bath in a bowl of warm water. This removes any traces of nail polish remover or oil that might lift your polish.
Then dry your nails thoroughly and apply a coat of the best suited prescriptive base coat for your nail type, two coats of colour and a top coat. With each coat it’s very important to paint across the free edge (tip) as this is the part of your nail that takes the most impact (just think about typing!)

Finding a shade that compliments you can often mean a little trial and error. Colours will flatter people differently depending on their skin tone, style and nail length.
Fairer skin is complimented by dark colours, especially those with a blue base. Medium skin tones fair well with red shades, whilst darker tones can carry almost any colour.
Remember you can always ask your local Jessica manicurist for advice, together you can experiment with an array of colours to find which are best for you.

To prevent staining, always use a base coat to act as a barrier between the polish and your bare nail. Remove your polish after no more than three weeks as nails are porous and will begin to absorb the pigment.

Nail growth begins at the cuticle, so with proper cuticle care, you’ll encourage healthy nails. Massage Nourish into your cuticles throughout the day and Phenomen Oil each night.
The treatments will keep your cuticles soft and help healthy nail growth while the massage action will stimulate growth. You’ll also need to use a prescriptive base coat. Although it’s hard to prescribe without seeing your nails, I’d recommend Critical Care. In just six weeks this base coat strengthens and boosts growth.

Secondly, I strongly advise you to visit your local salon and try GELeration. This gel manicure not only protects your natural nails and allows them to grow, but adds a stronger layer that discourages biters.

And resist the temptation to cut your cuticles; they’ll only grow back thicker, making hangnails more likely.
If you do get a hangnail, massage in lots of Nourish to soften and promote healing. Then cut only the loose part of the hangnail with sharp scissors to prevent tearing.

The power to protect your manicure lies within your top coat and technique. For an at home manicure we recommend Brilliance which seals in your colour, protects from fading and adds a high gloss shine.
To encourage long-lasting wear, make sure you prepare nails properly and use a base coat. With each application of base coat, colour and top coat, paint under the nail and along the free edge. As the free edge is the part of the nail that takes most of the impact, this technique will help to protect both the nail and the manicure.

When applied and removed correctly, a GELeration manicure will actually help to protect the natural nail.
Make sure you use a certified GELeration manicurist, and avoid peeling or picking at the gels as this will cause damage to your nail plate. When it is time to remove the gels, book a gel removal appointment with your therapist or purchase a GELeration removal kit (and follow the instructions included).
