Nail Care Tips for Gardeners

As a gardener you are exposed to a lot of soil and other drying and possibly irritating materials. To protect your nails while gardening, we recommend the use of a good hand moisturizer to minimize the drying effects. Thicker moisturizers are ideal when working with moisture or water as they have a bit more water-resistance.

Aside from that you can also include the use of gardening gloves that will provide complete protection. The lotion on the inside will help prevent chafing from the fabric.

Cuticle care

The cuticles will be dryer due to that exposure. So, using things such as cuticle oil or a cuticle serum is very helpful. Plus, doing a thorough cleaning using a nail brush after gardening underneath the nails is important.

Manicures are the ideal way of treating and maintaining your hands. A detailed manicure will include care of the cuticles and cleaning of the nails which can also resolve staining issues.

What is included in a classic manicure?

The classic manicure includes a detailed cleaning and grooming of the nail plate, the cuticle area, the surrounding tissue on the nails, and underneath. It also includes shaping and evening out the nail length. In addition, it includes a relaxing hand massage to help rehydrate and nourish the skin and cuticles. The cherry on top? A warm paraffin dip to help relax the knots and muscles and stimulate circulation in the hands which leaves the hands with a youthful glow.

What is the difference between a gel manicure and a classic manicure?

Gel manicure include all of the classical manicure components with the addition of the light-cured gel polish.

Can you garden with gel nails?

Gel polish is fine when you garden as long as you protect your manicure. The dryness may cause it chip a little sooner than you’d like it to. On the other hand, if you have gel nail extensions, depending on the length of the extension, they may interfere with tactile movements.

In addition to the massage and paraffin application, we use vitamin e lotion and cuticle oil nourishes the hands and nails with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

We offer extras such as gel polish application (a form of shellac polish) and removal. We also offer shellac and gel polish removal as a stand-alone service.
