Easter Nail Care Tips
A good Easter manicure starts with healthy nails. Spring weather can be changeable, with cool mornings and warm afternoons, so keep your hands moisturized and your cuticles oiled every day. Trim and file your nails in one direction to prevent splitting, and push back your cuticles gently instead of cutting them. Always use a base coat before color to prevent staining, especially with pastel shades that can look streaky, and finish with a top coat to protect the design. Reapply top coat every two or three days to keep the shine and stop chips. If you use gel polish, give your nails a short break between sets so they can recover and stay strong through the spring.
