no-soak: the most hygienic nail service that actually increases polish life

a waterless manicure

as in no soaking. soaking is one of the culprits to nail-polish chipping and peeling so quickly after a manicure.

soaking actually "bloats" the nail, causing it to soften and expand.

strengthens the bond

so, when you then apply polish, the nails shrink back down along with the polish. this causes the adhesion of the polish to be compromised, which in turn leads to chipping and peeling.

pampers the nails & hands

enter, dry manicure: remove polish, file the nails, apply a dab of cuticle remover (this will break down and soften the skin just as soaking would), exfoliate the nails, wipe with a swipe of polish remover or alcohol to keep nails dry and clean, then get to polishing.
