How to Take Care of Your Nails?

Taking care of your nails is essential not only for aesthetics, but, above all, for their structural health. Regular care helps prevent common issues such as breakage, splitting, and infections, while ensuring better durability for any manicure.

What Is a Nail Strengthener and When Should You Use It?

A nail strengthener is a concentrated formula enriched with high-performance ingredients (such as keratin, calcium, or horsetail extract) designed to harden and reinforce the nail matrix. It acts like a protective shield to prevent breakage and splitting.

How to Ensure Long-Lasting Manicure Results?

The durability of a manicure depends on three key factors:

1. Preparation: Clean and mattify the nail, file it into the desired shape, and gently push back the cuticles. Proper preparation improves polish adhesion.
2. Base: Always apply a protective base coat. It creates an ideal bonding surface between the nail and colour, extending wear time.
3. Finish: After applying colour, seal with a top coat to add shine and protect the manicure. Finish with cuticle oil and a moisturizing hand cream to nourish and strengthen the nails.

Professional Choice: Classic Nail Polish or Gel Polish?

The choice of technique affects both application and longevity.

How to Achieve Even, Opaque Coverage?

Choose products formulated with triple-pigmentation technology (such as Cuccio Nail Polishes). This advanced formulation ensures rich, opaque coverage and true-to-colour results, often in just two thin coats.

Nail Extension Techniques: Resin & Powder and Nail Tips

For those looking to lengthen or reshape their nails, professional techniques offer strength and versatility.

Why Choose the Resin & Powder (Dip Powder) Technique?

Resin and powder application is favoured by professionals for its exceptional strength and long-lasting wear, even on nails exposed to daily stress.

Benefits:

• High resistance to impact and wear
• Quick lengthening with nail tips
• Ideal for reinforcing natural nails and creating an even structure
• Wear time of up to 4 weeks, depending on nail type and maintenance
