basics. A manicure is a type of nail treatment designed to keep your nails nourished, strong and healthy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s performed by an experienced nail technician who will be able to file, buff, clean and paint your nails either at a beauty salon or through an in-home manicure booking. Typically, manicures take anywhere from 15 minutes (for an express mani) all the way up to 90 minutes (for an acrylic manicure).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most manicures will typically follow the same initial steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removing any polish or Shellac gel from your nails<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soaking your nails in water to soften the nail bed\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filing and buffing the nails and cleaning your cuticles\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From there, you can decide to add-on extras like Shellac gel,\u00a0 acrylic nails, and even nail art (if you\u2019re inspired by Euphoria!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how often should you book a manicure? Regular manicures will help keep your hands and nails nourished, healthy and strong.\u00a0 Ideally, you should leave at least two weeks between your appointments to give your nails time to grow. Another good cue is to check the condition of your polish. Once you notice breakage or chipping, it\u2019s a good time to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/services\/nails\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">book your next manicure<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"img-with-aniamtion-wrap center\" data-max-width=\"75%\" data-border-radius=\"none\"><div class=\"inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/getblys\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-shadow=\"none\" data-shadow-direction=\"middle\" class=\"img-with-animation skip-lazy \" data-delay=\"0\" height=\"1350\" width=\"1080\" style=\"margin-top: 50px; margin-bottom: 50px; \" data-animation=\"fade-in\" src=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/@overglowedit.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/@overglowedit.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/@overglowedit-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/@overglowedit-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/getblys.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/@overglowedit-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" alt=\"pink french tip manicure with red and pink hearts\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_different_types_of_in-home_manicures_can_you_book\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What different types of in-home manicures can you book?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want your manicure to suit your nails and lifestyle.
