Q: HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CHANGE MY POLISH?
A: As podiatrists, we recommend patients change their polish every 10 days and to go polish free for a few days before re-applying nail colour. Nail polish is occlusive and can deplete the natural oils from the nail and cuticles around the nail. Leaving your nails polish free for a few days allow the nails to rehydrate. It is also a good idea to apply cuticle oil day and night. This will also help to hydrate both your nails and your cuticles.
Q: ANY TIPS TO ENSURE MY MANICURE AND
PEDICURE LAST?
A: To maximise the wearability of you manicure, try these tips:
Always use base coat and top coat. Re-apply a clear top coat every 3 days.
Give your polish 30 – 45 minutes to completely dry, 60 seconds each coat.
Apply hand and foot cream as well as cuticle oil often.
