We know that the chilly Winter temperatures can be hard on our skin, but did you know the cold weather also has an effect on our nails? As the weather continues to cool, your nail polish has a harder time adhering to your nails for a multitude of reasons that go along with the frosty temps. This week in the blog, we are going to be diving into why your nail lacquer tends to chip more frequently in the Winter, as well as how to help solve this dilemma.   Hand Washing While cooler weather comes with cozy scarves and beanies, the cold temperatures can also make us more susceptible to maybe catching a cold or coming down with the flu. A way most of us try to combat this is by regularly washing our hands to try to kill any germs—which is great! However, the more frequently we are exposing our hands to water, the more water our nails are absorbing. The more water your nails absorb, the more they are prone to peeling and breaking. As an alternative to constant hand washing, try our Super Clean No Rinse Cleansing Hand Crème! With 62% alcohol and skincare-infused ingredients, this non-drying formula is perfect for any time you want to clean your hands without disrupting your manicure.   Fluctuating Temperatures When it is freezing outside, it is only natural to want to be cozied up next to a heater once you get indoors! However, with the constant change in humidity and temperature, the polish on your nails is having to expand and contract depending on the weather, which can cause your nail polish to chip and lift. To help solve this dilemma, we recommend applying a base coat to your nails to help promote stronger nails. Our Horse Power Nail Rescue Base Coat helps protect both healthy and brittle nails against future damage and prevent nail breakage. This powerful, good-for-your nails butter LONDON base coat is infused with Horsetail Extract, Biotin, along with fortifying Vitamin B and Calcium to help transform, restore, and rescue damaged, weak nails.   Dryness It is nothing new that skin tends to get drier in the Winter time, but did you know that your nails can also get dry? Nails get dry from a variety of reasons, whether it be hand warmers, frequent hand washing, or a lack of moisture. When nails get too dry, they tend to get thin and brittle. This results in nail polish peeling and chipping off of nails in a short amount of time. To help solve this issue, try our Sheer Wisdom Nail Tinted Moisturizer! Formulated with a blend of skin-pampering ingredients, this technology-based, hybrid nail treatment helps revive, strengthen and prevent breakage as it coats nails with a barely there, a sheer tint. This Nail Tinted Moisturizer is perfect to put your manicure back on the right-track for a healthier look.   In need of some TLC At times during the winter, the humidity and moisture levels in the air tend to drop, resulting in dry air. This causes your nails to become brittle and dehydrated, which can cause your manicure to crack and peel. Just like your skin, your nails typically need more attention in the cooler months. Just like you protect your skin from wind chills and harsh temperatures with layers of moisturizers and serums, your nails need the same care! To help solve the issue of nails in need of some TLC, we recommend our Champagne Fizz Manicure Candle to give your hands and nails some much needed moisture. Our Nail & Skin Treatment Candle is created from a natural skin-softening blend of Soybean Oil and Coconut Oil that perfectly melts into a soothing and conditioning massage treatment.

Winter is almost here! We love the holidays and festive activities and cozy nights in, but we don’t always love the harsh weather and dry skin that often comes along with it. This week in the blog, we are going to be going through 6 wintertime essential items to help ensure that you stay hydrated during the chilly season ahead. Give ‘Em Some Lip To start our Winter full of hydration, let’s begin with the lips. Having dry, peeling lips is not only potentially painful but it also makes lipstick application more difficult. To help prevent this, we recommend LIPPY Lip Balm Pink Champagne Treatment to swipe on your lips to provide much needed moisture. This intensive lip hydrator is formulated with conditioning plant-based oils to indulge lips with much-needed moisture. A bonus is that this lip product also doubles as an overnight lip mask to help hydrate and condition lips all night long. Smoother Soles Ahead To truly hydrate and moisturize the skin, it’s important that we first exfoliate the dead and dry skin off hands and feet to help reduce the appearance of dry skin, age spots and uneven skin tone. So Buff Hand and Foot Polish is the perfect product to do so as it combines the power of Glycolic Acid with eco-friendly Apricot Seed Powder for gentle exfoliation to buff away calluses on feet to promote baby soft soles and hands that appear brighter, smoother, and more renewed. Happy Hydration Once hands and feet are exfoliated and no longer have dead skin cells sitting on the surface, it’s time to go into a super-rich, luxe Extra Whip Hand and Foot Treatment for the ultimate hydration. Formulated with moisture-locking ingredients such as Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter to help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and age spots for visibly smoother, firmer-looking hands and feet. We recommend throwing this in your bag for on-the-go hydration anytime your hands are feeling a bit dry. Avoid the Hang Nail There is truly nothing worse than having dry cuticles that can ruin the look of a perfect manicure and turn into gnarly hang nails. Help avoid the painful hangnail this Winter with QuickFix Moisturizing Cuticle Balm, a spa-like treatment that helps to instantly moisturize and condition cuticles. Formulated with Coconut Oil and Avocado Oil, QuickFix is a hero cuticle treatment to have this Winter when our hands and nails are begging for some TLC. The no-mess cuticle massager features a non-greasy formula and a massager tip that hugs dry cuticles and conditions them for a true pampering experience.   Indulge with Champagne Fizz Champagne Fizz is our Intensive Nail & Skin Massage Treatment that is perfect for chilly Winter nights when we are bundled up inside. This luxe massage treatment is created from a natural skin-softening blend of Soybean Oil and Coconut Oil that perfectly melts into a soothing and conditioning hand massage treatment. Perfect for Winter, simply light the candle and allow the wax to melt before drizzling the oil onto hands and feet to instantly moisturize the skin.

We have all heard of the TikTok phenomenon of “slugging” where you slather your face with a thick moisturizer or balm in order to lock in hydration. Lately, skincare loving Tik Tokers have decided to take slugging to an entirely new level with “nail slugging.” Nail slugging is a similar concept of slugging for your face, but instead of coating your face, you coat your hands and nails in a thick layer of a balm or lotion. What are the benefits of nail slugging? Slugging and hydrating your hands is a good habit to get into to help strengthen and protect nails and cuticles from outside elements, such as cold temperatures, brisk winds, and dry indoor heating. When your cuticles are dry, they are prone to splitting, which can increase the chances for infections, but luckily slugging can help avoid this issue. When coating your hands and nails in a thick layer of a balm or oil, you are strengthening your nails and allowing them to grow stronger and healthier.  What can I use to “slug” my hands and nails? There is no need to fret when trying to figure out what to slug your nails with. The Champagne Fizz Manicure Candle is an intensive nail and skin treatment—i.e., the perfect product for nail slugging as it is a manicure candle that produces a conditioning oil that coats the hands and nails to lock in moisture. Formulated with Soybean Oil and Coconut Oil to soothe and condition the hands or feet, Champagne Fizz instantly moisturizes the skin for a luxe nail slugging experience. “This beautiful candle provides a treat for all of the senses as the lightly fragranced warm oils are massaged into the skin of the hands and feet,” says Dr. Hadley King, an award-winning New York City-based dermatologist. "The blend of Soybean and Coconut Oils support the skin barrier and lock in moisture to leave the skin softer and smoother. It's a perfect self care ritual.” So how do I slug my nails with the Champagne Fizz Manicure Candle? First, to begin the process for the ultimate nail slugging, light the Champagne Fizz candle and allow it to melt the entire first level of wax before blowing it out. Remember, you want enough melted wax to be able to cover both of your hands. While you are waiting for the candle to burn, begin prepping your nails with our 3-Piece Pro Manicure Kit to clean up cuticles and shape nails, while you enjoy the luxurious Champagne scent. Next, once the entire top layer of the candle is melted, pour the decadent oil directly onto hands and gently massage it in. The oil will be the perfect warmth for you to massage your hands but will not be too hot to the touch. The balm-like consistency of this intensive nail and skin treatment wax will condition your hands and cuticles for the ultimate nail slugging experience.   Lastly, once you have massaged the Champagne Fizz oil fully in your hands, take it one step further with the QuickFix Moisturizing Cuticle Balm. This no-mess cuticle massager features a non-greasy formula that hugs dry cuticles and conditions them with ultra-moisturizing Coconut Oil and Avocado Oil. Think of the QuickFix Balm as the cherry on top for your intensely hydrating nail slugging experience. Once you have coated your hands in the Champagne Fizz Manicure Candle and applied the Quick Fix Moisturizing Cuticle Balm, your hydrated hands will thank you.
