The Ultimate Nail Care Guide: Strong, Healthy & Beautiful Nails
Let’s be real—your nails go through a lot. From typing away at your keyboard to opening stubborn soda cans (we’ve all been there), they deserve some serious TLC.
If you want strong, healthy, and flawless nails without relying on endless salon visits, you’re in the right place. Here’s your ultimate guide to nail care—no fluff, just real, effective tips.

HYDRATION IS YOUR NAILS BEST FRIEND
Dry nails = weak, brittle nails. Just like your skin, your nails need moisture to stay strong. Here’s how to keep them hydrated:
● Use cuticle oil daily (yes, daily!) to nourish and prevent breakage.
● Apply a rich hand cream after washing your hands—water can strip away natural oils.
● Stay hydrated! Drinking enough water benefits your nails just as much as your skin.

FILE, DON’T SAW
Aggressive filing back and forth weakens your nails and leads to breakage. Instead:
● Use a glass or crystal file for a smooth, sealed edge.
● File in one direction to avoid micro-tears.
● Keep them shaped and short if you struggle with breakage.
Rosie Nail Bar Tip: Our expert nail techs always use high-quality, gentle files to keep your nails healthy and strong.
SAY NO TO HARSH CHEMICALS
Your nails absorb what you put on them, so choose wisely:
● Avoid nail polishes with formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP—these can weaken your nails over time.
● Use non-acetone removers to prevent excessive drying.
● Give your nails a breather between manicures to avoid overexposure to chemicals.
● Choose from our HEMA Free Range of Gel & BIAB Polishes for Anti-Allergy Polish
Rosie Nail Bar Alternative: Our BIAB (Builder In A Bottle) manicures offer a strengthening alternative without harsh chemicals.
NUTRITION = NAIL GROWTH
Your nails reflect your overall health, so what you eat matters:
● Biotin-rich foods (eggs, nuts, salmon) help strengthen nails.
● Iron & zinc (spinach, beans, red meat) prevent brittleness.
● Omega-3s (chia seeds, avocados, walnuts) keep nails flexible and hydrated.
The beauty of your nails also starts on your plate!
PROTECT YOUR NAILS LIKE YOU PROTECT YOUR SKIN
Think of your nails like an extension of your skin—they need protection, too.
● Wear gloves when doing dishes or cleaning (chemicals + water = disaster for nails).
● Apply SPF to your hands—UV rays can weaken nails and dry out your skin.
● Avoid using your nails as tools. We know it’s tempting, but your teeth or a proper opener are better options.
BE SMART ABOUT YOUR MANICURE CHOICE
Not all nail treatments are created equal (And no, we’re not just saying this!) Make sure you’re setting your nails up for success by:
● If you love gel or acrylics, take breaks between sets to let your natural nails recover.
● Opt for BIAB (Builder In A Bottle) if you want a strengthening alternative.
● Always use a base coat to prevent staining and a top coat for extra protection.

WATCH OUT FOR RED FLAGS
Your nails can tell you when something’s off. Here are some warning signs:
● Yellowing? You might need a detox from dark polishes or a fungal check-up.
● Peeling or splitting? You could be low on iron or overexposed to water.
● Ridges? This is often a sign of aging or dehydration—cuticle oil is your friend.
HEALTHY NAILS = HAPPY NAILS
Great nails don’t happen overnight, but with the right habits, they can be stronger and healthier than ever. Hydrate, protect, nourish, and be gentle—your nails will thank you. R
