In today’s blog, we’re sharing expert-approved nail care tips to help you maintain healthy, beautiful nails between salon visits, along with insight into 2025’s hottest nail art trends.
Why Nail Care Matters
At Ivory & Onyx, we believe nail care is self-love. Regular manicures and pedicures don’t just look good—they support nail health, promote relaxation, and even boost confidence. Whether you’re a fan of gel polish, acrylics, or natural nails, here are some must-follow tips from our expert technicians.
7 Nail Care Tips from the Pros
- Moisturize Daily - Dry cuticles are the enemy of healthy nails. Use cuticle oil or a rich hand cream daily—especially after washing your hands.
- Avoid Biting or Peeling - Picking at polish or biting your nails can lead to long-term damage. Keep a nail file nearby instead.
- Choose Quality Polish - Cheap polish can damage the nail plate. At Ivory & Onyx, we use premium brands like The Gel Bottle, OPI, and handpicked healthy polish brands to ensure lasting results and nail health.
- Use Gloves for Chores - Cleaning chemicals and water exposure weaken nails. Protect them with gloves when doing dishes or household tasks.
- Go for Regular Professional Services - Our luxury manicure packages include callus treatment, collagen gloves, hot stone massage, and a 5-step skincare ritual—designed to nourish, protect, and beautify. Your feet work very hard, so treat it to a nourishing skincare treatment available with the JO MALONE, LUSH, and [IVORY & ONYX] packages.
- Stay Hydrated and Eat Well - Brittle nails are often a sign of dehydration or vitamin deficiency. Biotin-rich foods like almonds and eggs help strengthen nails from the inside out.
- Let Your Nails Breathe - Give your nails a short break between gel sets if you’re prone to thinning or sensitivity. Consult with your pro technicians for advice (Nail tech advice should not be taken as medical advice, consult with your doctor about your nail health and well-being)
