Nail Care 101: A Guide to Healthy and Beautiful Nails

At-Home Nail Care Routine

Your nails are more than just a canvas for trendy nail colors and fabulous art—they are a reflection of your overall health and grooming habits. Neglecting your nails can lead to unsightly consequences like brittleness, breakage, and even infections. Le Mini Macaron makes it easy to care for your nails at home with practical tips and products you’ll love to ensure your nails not only look fabulous but also remain healthy and strong. We recommend using these products in your nail care routine in between your gel manis for optimal nail health. 

Le Mini Macaron hand and nail cleansing spray.

Keep Your Nails Clean and Dry

The foundation of proper nail care is cleanliness. Start by regularly washing your hands with a mild soap, ensuring that you clean underneath your nails to remove dirt and bacteria. After washing, pat your hands dry instead of rubbing to prevent unnecessary trauma to the nails. Always wear gloves when engaging in tasks that involve prolonged exposure to water, detergents, or harsh chemicals to shield your nails from damage. To keep your nails clean while on the go, try our Le French Rose Hand Cleansing Spray.  A bright, rose-scented hand cleansing spray inspired by a French rose garden leaves hands refreshed, cleansed, and moisturized.

Trim and Shape Your Nails Regularly

Regular nail maintenance is crucial for a polished appearance. Trim your nails straight across to prevent ingrown nails, and then round the tips in a gentle curve. Use a quality nail clipper or manicure scissors, and avoid biting your nails, as this can lead to uneven edges and potential infections. Additionally, file your nails in one direction to smooth the edges and shape them to your desired length. Our “Les Essentiels” Manicure Set has all the must-have tools for DIY manicures and pedicures at home.

Moisturize and Hydrate Your Nails

Just like your skin, your nails need hydration. Apply moisturizing hand cream or cuticle oil regularly to keep your nails and the surrounding skin soft and supple. Focus on massaging the cuticle area to stimulate blood circulation and encourage healthy nail growth. Hydration is essential for preventing the development of brittle nails that are prone to breakage. Try one of these fan favorites today:
