I am a stay at home mom and not especially careful with my nails. I wear gloves for gardening and put clear coat on every day. My manicure starts to look bad after about 4 or 5 days. It is me or do I need to find a better nail salon?How long should a professional manicure last?
You shouldnt put a clear coat on everyday the thicker the polish the easier to damage.. my manicure lasts for about a week 2 weeks max.
. Make sure you have a very clean nail plate before applying polish. The natural oils on your nail, lotion or a piece of cotton fiber will make the polish peel. I like to strip the nails by swabbing them with Sea Breeze or nail polish remover.
2. Always use a base coat and top coat. It's sometimes tempting to skip them if you're in a hurry. But remember, it's not worth it if your polish chips faster. The base coat acts as a foundation for your manicure, and the top coat is a protectant for your polish.
3. Let each coat dry for a couple of minutes before applying another. This allows the polish to set so the next layer adheres better.
4. Wear gloves whenever you do a job in water or dirt: dishes, cleaning, gardening.
5. Try not to use your nails as tools. Concentrate on using the pads of your fingers and not the tips of your fingers when you reach, grab, hold and type.How long should a professional manicure last?
I have gotten numerous manicures from many different salons, and their quality varies. They can last anywhere from 2-4 days up to 2 weeks.
The best way to get your manicure to last a long time is to find a quality salon and take good care of the results. A good manicure will usually not involve trimming cuticles and they will most likely use a nail hardening agent after they are finished. Be sure to let your polish dry thoroughly after getting it done, and touch up with clear polish (especially on the tips to avoid chipping) to keep your mani looking fresh.
try a different salon. mine lasts for a little over a week.
BETTER NAIL SALON..MYNE USUALLY LAST UP TO 2 WEEKS AT THE LEAST
that's usually just how long they last... it starts to chip when you take a shower or whatever.
don't worry, i hate that too! :-)
I think that's how long they should last if you're doing all that work. Especially washing dishes and stuff like that can mess them up from the chemicals. It's normal for someone who does alot of hands-on activities.
It usually takes a week. Usually when the coat chips or nails chips. Then it is time to change. I personally think OPI nail polish is the best. Look out for these when you are in the store.
if you take good care of it, 5-7 days.

hope this helpedWhat is better a spa manicure or a regular pedicure?
For the manicure, they clean your hands up, cut your nails, shape your nails, file them, and then paint them. They usually do a few coats. They end up quite pretty! For a pedicure, they wash and massage your feet, cut-file- and shape your nails, then paint them with a few coats. They both turn out very pretty and mine have lasted around 2 weeks to a month.
id go for the pedi. w/manicures the nail polish seems to start to chip after a few days. I do dishes and clean the kitchen maybe this is why. the pedicures last longer and are perfect for summer since you wear sandals most of the time :o)

How do you keep a manicure from chipping?
I got a manicure today, Sunday, and I need it to last for Sunday. It was stupid of me and I probably should have waited, but too late. I have real nails and I got a french manicure. Does anyone have any tips so I can keep it from chipping this week? Thanks.How do you keep a manicure from chipping?
Put a coat of clear topcoat every other day, or daily. Sally Hanson's Mega Shine or Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat are both great. Also, wear gloves when cleaning or doing dishes.How do you keep a manicure from chipping?
not getting one lol

What does a regular manicure consist of?
Like just clear nails or a color and then the white tip?
There is a place im going to go to and it says manicures are 15 dollars.
What all will they do for that 15 dollars most likely?
Can you get colored with white tips?
And how exactly do they put the white tips on?What does a regular manicure consist of?
a manicure with the white tips is called a french manicure, they are just painted on with white polish and then a nude/ pink on top. you usually pay extra for french.
depends on how long the manicure goes for as to what they do if its 1/2 hour then its file, cuticle work (push back and trim), and polish in a colour.
if it's an hour or 45min it'd be file/shape, cuticle work, cuticle treatment, massage and polish.What does a regular manicure consist of?
A regular manicure is all on your natural nail.
1. trim file shape the nail
2. soak the fingers in warm disinfecting water to soften cuticle
3. apply cuticle cream and push back and or trim cuticle
4. lotion massage on hand and maybe arm
5.remove oils from nail
6. solid color polish (more than one color or design will cost extra)
um first off you have two different services on here.... are you getting a manicure or are you getting tips(nail enhancements) cause if tips are only $15 i would really not go to that salon....now if you're getting a regular manicure then it will consist of your nails being filed and shaped, cuticles pushed back(not cut)hands soaked in warm water or pariffin wax, hand massage, nail beds dehydrated, base coat, color or french mani, top coat.....

Do you like french manicures?
Are french manicures in or out? I can't decide if I like them or if they're tacky! I used to do them all the time but now I'm not sure. What do you think?Do you like french manicures?
in or out? Does it really matter if some people think they're ';out';? French manicures are cute, and if they look good on your nails, then wear them. Nobody is going to gossip about you because you have a french manicure, so wear it!Do you like french manicures?
I like french manicures. I think their cute, but i don't think they're in. + I'm not such a manicured person, cus i'm not so fond of its scent. I think you should get your nails done in your favorite color, get a design (picture) on your thumbs, and if they have rinestones, get that (: They're are really cute.
My aunts works at nail salons and they always so my cousins nails with like a pink background, 2 yellow flowers, along with a small rhinestone in the center of the rhinestones, it's amazing %26lt;3
French Manicures are always appropriate for weddings, proms, homecomings, etc.
You can get a different color besides white, or ask them to inset a little gem/rhinestone on the white that way there is a little sparkle on you finger.
I love french manicures! I think there really cute and i doubt they would ever would be out of style. i think there a great way to do your nails without to much or too little. so i hope i helped.
french manicures NEVER go out of style in my book! i love them. you could try to mix it up by getting the tips in a different color or something but it think french manicures look clean and natural. i say go for it :)
I think they are kind of tacky, esp. the ones with the colors. Sometimes I do get french manicures, only when my nails are shorter so they just look clean %26amp; simple.
i like them, they're cute.
i think they look bad when people do black
tips or not just clear with white tips... but like purple
and black and all kinds of weird combinations.
and those long claw ones are hideous.
i love them! but only acrylics.
they seeem to look best if there with acrylics. or if you have the nails for them you can pull them off without acrylics
and french tip will always be in style
theyre very cute. i do my own toes but i bite my fingernails so i would have to get them done. but dont wanna pay outrageous prices.
but you should def get them!
I like them but it varies from person to person . . . and I like the designs you can put on your nails there pretty cool
i do love french manicures because it looks neat and very feminine. :)
well, i think you should try on nail art.
I don't like them. If you have short finger nails they don't look very good. Try to mix up a french manicure with a different color and something...
i like them i like them classy like white i dont like diffrent colors like blue or pink nails they look kind of unusual
i love them it goes with everything but i only like the square tips
ya but the white is getting old so do unique random color
Out
Out, just like the 80s
no even when they were in
i looooove them!!Ltd

What is the difference between a spa manicure and a regular manicure?
I am planning to take my girlfriend to Vegas in April and was planning something nice. I was looking at the Spa treatments and knew I had to get her a manicure. Does anyone know the difference between the Spa Manicure and the Manicure? (This is at Treasure Island in Vegas by the way)What is the difference between a spa manicure and a regular manicure?
Every salon is different and every salon or spa offers different versions of a manicure and spa manicure. Typically a regular manicure consists of a soak, file and cuticle care, hand and arm massage and polish. A spa manicure (at least the ones I give) consist of everything above including an exfoliating scrub and a paraffin treatment. Some nail techs offer a hand mask in place of the scrub or paraffin.What is the difference between a spa manicure and a regular manicure?
Well I know that a Spa Pedicure is when they have kinda like a bath for your feet. I'm not sure what a spa manicure is sry! good luck

Can men get french manicures?
if they can,how do u tell the nail artist?wont they not allow it?cause its gay.i want to get a french manicure on my fingers and toes.Can men get french manicures?
If the nail people can get money, They for sure will do it.But it might cost a little more money.Can men get french manicures?
Yes you can....
I have been getting Man/Pedi for some time now.Typically my fingers and toes are done with a clear coat only.
I must say though, that on occasion I have had a french style done on my toes, as well as having them painted dark blue or black.
Go for it!
You can.
No one can stop you, because it'd be against the rights listed in the constitution. It is a little strange though. Clear coats, and maybe a pedicure/massage would be alright though.
It's up to you though I guess.
Manicures and pedicures aren't only girl things I suppose.
Just walk in a nail salon and say you want to get your nails did and just ask them to give a french mani/pedi. As long as they get money, of course they'll do it. If you go to an Asian place, they may talk about you in their language but whatever, do what you like.
Yes. You can. The nail artist is paid in full to do her/his job, so she/he should be happy to do it. If they laugh, that is their problem. You can. I think it is okay, but get a natural tan color for your nails, or a clear coat.
Go for it!!! They'll do it! ..and if not, spend your $ somewhere else! But, I would think anyone (for the most part) would do it with no questions. I think it'll look great, and It'll make you feel nice and girlie and cute! Do it!
Yes you can just go and say, Hi I want a French manicure and pedicure.
I see guys at the saloon all the time to get their hands,feet and eyebrows and they are not necessary gay.....
they have to do it.
it doesnt matter if they think it ';gay';
if ur paying them, they have to do it.
They'll do anything to your nails that you want them to as long as you're a paying customer.
money is money so they wont give you a problem, but i wouldnt advise doing it.
yeah they'll do it, they may just look at you kinda funny thats all!:)
you could but it would look weird lol. why not just get clear or something
wtf no
no if they get money for it they're fine. lol. but just get like a clear coat...
