Maintaining healthy nails is essential for both style and self-care, especially when using Bluesky Gel Nail Polish to keep your manicure looking flawless for weeks. But even with the stunning shine and durability that gel polish offers, it’s crucial to give your nails the care they deserve. Healthy nails not only look great but also help ensure that your gel polish stays intact without causing any damage.
1. Hydrate Your Cuticles Regularly
The key to healthy nails starts with cuticle care. The cuticles are the protective barriers around your nails, and keeping them nourished is essential for overall nail health. Over time, they can become dry or cracked, leading to discomfort and even infection.
Tip: Invest in our cuticle oil or serums and apply daily. Using our Cuticle Oil or serums will promote hydration and repair any damage. After a fresh gel manicure, gently massage your cuticles with our cuticle oil to keep them soft and healthy.
2. Use a Serum for Stronger Nails
Nails can be prone to damage, especially after frequent gel polish use. Strengthening them from the inside out is vital for long-lasting health. Using a nail serum can help replenish nutrients, boost hydration, and strengthen nails. Find the best serum for your nails here
Tip: Apply our nourishing cuticle serum to your nails and cuticles before bed. This will help to improve your nails’ resilience and prevent breakage.
3. Moisturise Your Nails and Hands Daily
Hydration is not just important for your skin, but also for your nails. Dry nails can break easily, which is especially problematic when you’re wearing gel nail polish. A good moisturiser can help seal in the natural moisture of your nails and keep them from becoming brittle.
Tip: Apply our hand and nail cream which is rich in nourishing ingredients like shea butter. Apply it generously, especially after washing your hands and removing your gel polish.
4. Give Your Nails a Break from Gel Polish
While our Gel Polish offers a long-lasting and beautiful finish, it's essential to give your nails a break occasionally. Constantly applying gel polish can weaken nails over time, making them more prone to damage and breakage.
Tip: Consider giving your nails a break every few weeks. This will allow your natural nails to regain strength and promote growth. We love using our nail booster to help repair and protect from any damage.
5. Practice a Healthy Nail Care Routine
Consistency is key when it comes to nail care. Establishing a daily routine will help maintain your nails' health throughout the year. Incorporate a mix of cuticle care, moisturising, and occasional nail strengthening treatments into your day.
Tip: Start your day by massaging cuticle oil into your nails. Follow it up with our hand cream for your hands and nails. Before bed apply your selected nail serum to give your nails extra strength. Your nails will be strong, smooth, and ready for any Bluesky gel you want to apply!
By incorporating these tips into your daily routine, you can achieve strong, healthy nails that look great all year round, whether you're wearing your favourite Bluesky Gel Colour or letting your natural nails shine. Consistent cuticle care, serum usage, and a nourishing daily routine will ensure that your nails stay in their best condition and are ready for any manicure you choose.
