Growing your nails naturally
Whether you’re a life long nail biter or its just that you don’t seem to be able to get any length on your nails that seem always too weak to grow, there’s a simple cost effective natural solution - petroleum jelly/vaseline.
This massaged into the nail and cuticle every night for three weeks and you will start to reap the benefits.
Follow these simple steps for longer/stronger nails.
Step one
Remove any nail varnish from the nail
Step two
Soak the clean nails in warm water with a small amount of detergent for five minutes.
Step three
With a cuticle stick, gently push back the cuticles (be careful not to push too hard), which can damage the nail bed and cause white spots or bruising.
( nb if the cuticles do not quickly push back re-soak until they do )
Step four
Massage a small amount of petroleum jelly into your whole nail and cuticle
Ideally this would be done in the evening when you are relaxing (if you could repeat stage four in the morning before breakfast that would be great!!!)
After three weeks, your nails should be vastly improved in length and strength. I recommend Sally Hanson's” complex as nail” treatment to maintain your nails.
Now that you have your nails in great condition, book an appointment with Lucy at Aspen to apply BIAB (Build In A Bottle) gel, which will maintain the strength of your nails for up to three weeks!
BIAB is essentially gel polish, but far more effective than ordinary gels, leaving the nails super strong.
The nails are cleaned of any residual polish and wiped over with acetone to remove any residual natural moisture, enabling the BIAB to adhere firmly to the nail.
The nail bed is gently filed and the first coat is applied.
The nails are then placed under a UV lamp and allowed to cure ( this is a process called polymerisation.
This application and curing are repeated several times, and finally, the nails are wiped over with acetone to remove any unwanted residue.
Lucy is an expert in this application and can make even the shortest nails look well groomed for less than £20.
