The Secret to Healthy Nails

We all know the importance of skincare and hair care – these are the topics which circulate across most lifestyle columns, take centre stage in our beauty stores, and that we’re desperate to know our favourite stars’ routines for. In a world where skincare and hair care seem to take precedence, the importance of looking after your nails can go by the wayside. Read on to find out our top tips on the secret to healthy nails…

1. Keep your hands clean.

Especially in the wake of Covid, we’ve all been reminded of the significance of washing our hands thoroughly. With this, remember to ensure your nails come into the mix. If you’ve got remnants of polish on your nails, you’ll want to make sure all traces are removed with an acetone-free remover (so as to not dry out your nails). For a chemical-free deep clean, apply soap to a clean toothbrush, then gently scrub your nails and the surrounding skin.

2. Clip your nails regularly.

In the same way we trim our hair to sustain growth (as counterintuitive as it might sound), consistent trims are just as important for your nails. That’s where our Mauve Orchard Birds Manicure Set comes in handy. With gold-finished stainless-steel tweezers, scissors, an emery board and nail clippers, you’ll have all of your nail care must-haves on-hand whenever you need them. Use the nail clippers to maintain your nails every two weeks as a starting point, adjusting frequency as needed when you gauge how your nails respond.  

3. Maintain your tools.

Just as we know to regularly clean our makeup brushes, cleaning your nail tools between uses is just as important to stave off bad bacteria from accumulating. Make sure your stainless-steel tweezers, scissors, and nail clippers are kept clean. Our stunning nail care set ensures all of your tools are housed in one place for ease. What’s more, it’s just as beautiful as it is practical; the perfect size for popping in a handbag, the exquisite carry-case features songbirds in the fruit trees of an enchanted orchard garden. You definitely won’t want to hide this inside your bathroom cabinet!
