☀️ What Happens to Your Nails in the Summer? 💅✨

Summer is amazing for holidays, sunshine and beach days… but it can also take its toll on your nails !

Here’s what to look out for:

🌊 Salt Water
Frequent exposure to sea water can dry out the nails and surrounding skin, making them more prone to peeling and dehydration if they aren’t moisturised regularly.

🏊 Chlorine
Swimming pools contain chemicals that can leave nails feeling dry and brittle. Chlorine can also dull the shine of your gel top coat over time.

☀️ UV Exposure
While gel polish is designed to withstand UV light, prolonged exposure to strong sunshine can cause some colours to fade or slightly discolour. Daily SPF on your hands also helps protect your skin from premature ageing.

🥵 Heat & Dehydration
Hot weather can dehydrate your natural nails and cuticles. Dry cuticles are more likely to crack, lift and cause hangnails.

🧴 Sun Cream & Oils
Applying SPF is essential, but sunscreen, tanning oils and lotions can leave residue on your nails, reducing their shine. Simply wipe your nails clean after application to keep them looking glossy.

🏖️ Sand
Tiny grains of sand can act like an abrasive, causing small scratches on the surface of your manicure if rubbed repeatedly.

💦 More Time in Water
Whether it’s swimming, hot tubs or long showers, repeated soaking causes your natural nails to absorb water and expand. As they dry, they contract again, which can contribute to lifting around gel enhancements.

✨ How to Keep Your Summer Nails Looking Their Best
• Apply cuticle oil every day.
• Wear SPF on your hands.
• Moisturise after swimming.
• Avoid using your nails as tools.
• Book infills or maintenance every 2–3 weeks to keep them strong and looking fresh.
