Your Guide to the Perfect Prescriptive Manicure

In today’s world of ever-evolving beauty trends, a prescriptive manicure is quickly becoming the go-to treatment for achieving healthier, stronger nails. More than just a simple polish application, this tailored nail care approach begins by understanding your unique nail concerns and selecting targeted products designed to treat them. At Bluesky Cosmetics, we offer everything you need to create the perfect prescriptive manicure at home, from our luxurious Serum Nail Care Series to our extensive range of gel polish and nail care essentials.

What is a Prescriptive Manicure?

A prescriptive manicure is an entirely bespoke treatment that focuses on the health and vitality of your nails. Rather than choosing a “one-size-fits-all” solution, you identify your nail’s specific issues—such as dryness, brittleness, peeling, or slow growth—and then apply targeted products to address those concerns directly. This approach ensures you’re not just covering up problems with a new coat of gel polish, but actively working to improve the condition of your nails over time.

Why Choose Bluesky Cosmetics for Your Prescriptive Manicure?

We pride ourselves on offering professional-quality nail products. We offer an extensive selection of Gel Polish colours, Base Coats, Top Coats, and the game-changing Serum Nail Care Series—a collection of targeted treatments designed to nourish, strengthen, and protect your nails. These products not only help you achieve a flawless finish but also ensure long-term nail health.

Step-by-Step Guide to Your Bespoke Treatment

1. Nail Analysis & Cleansing
   Begin by thoroughly cleansing and sanitising your hands and nails. Identify any issues such as weak nail beds, chipped tips, or dryness around the cuticles. For an optimal start, use our Bluesky Nail Cleanser Wipes or Cleanser Solution to remove dirt, oils, and residue. This ensures maximum adhesion and sets the stage for a smoother manicure process.
2. Cuticle Care & Hydration
   Gently push back your cuticles and use Bluesky Cuticle Remover if necessary. Then, apply a conditioning treatment from our Serum Nail Care Series. For example, if you’re dealing with dry, cracked cuticles, try the Bluesky Magic Repair Cuticle Oil. Enriched with essential oils and vitamins, this serum hydrates your cuticles, repairing any damage.
3. Nail Strengthening & Repair
   If your nails are weak or brittle, opt for the Bluesky Nail Care Concentrated Serum to reinforce the nail structure. This powerful serum penetrates deeply, working to rebuild keratin bonds and improve overall resilience. For nails that easily peel or split, this is your go-to, helping to mend and fortify weak layers so you can maintain length and integrity.
4. Promoting Growth & Thickness
   Want longer, thicker nails? The Bluesky Nail Booster with Keratin stimulates healthier growth while preventing breakage, ensuring that your nails can flourish naturally over time. The combination of vitamins, minerals, and nourishing oils in this Booster supports strong, beautiful nails that are ready to shine under your favourite gel polish.
5. Applying Your Gel Polish & Finishes
   Once your nail care treatment is complete, prepare your nails for your chosen colour. Start with the Bluesky eVita Base Coat. This base coat i mproves dull, lacklustre nails and promotes nail repair and regrowth whilst ensuring long-lasting adhesion. Next, choose from our wide range of Bluesky Gel Polish Colours, from timeless nudes to vibrant seasonal hues. Complete your manicure with a Bluesky Top Coat, available in Matte, Glossy, or Tempered, our strongest Top Coat yet. Or why not treat your manicure to one of our Special Effect Top Coats to change up your look completely. 
6. Locking in the Benefits & Aftercare
   After curing your gel polish with our UV LED Lamp, finish off your prescriptive manicure with another quick application of one of our Cuticle Oils like the Bluesky Shimmering Cuticle Oil or Bluesky Rose Cuticle Oil. This helps maintain hydration and extend the lifespan of your manicure. Reapply every few days to keep nails nourished and protected.

Maintaining Long-Term Nail Health

A truly effective prescriptive manicure doesn’t end after your polish has cured. Incorporate regular treatments like our Serum Nail Care Series, maintain a healthy diet rich in nail-nourishing vitamins, and avoid using your nails as tools. With these mindful habits, you’ll continue to see improvements in nail strength, longevity, and overall appearance—ensuring each manicure only gets better over time.

A prescriptive manicure is the ultimate way to ensure your nails receive the customised care they deserve. Don’t settle for ordinary; treat your nails to the transformative power of Bluesky's Nail Care Essentials and discover the difference a truly personalised manicure can make.
