6 Beauty Treatments Worth the Splurge

Waterless Pedicure and Manicure

Compared to a normal pedicure and manicure, a waterless option may allow for a more long-lasting and hygienic polish. In general, water can be a breeding ground for bacteria and germs that stay in the bowl, even when the water is removed. A waterless pedicure or manicure involves the same steps as other options, but you do not have to soak the fingers. Whether you use regular polish or gel, it may last longer.

The nail plate is similar to a sponge, which may need 60 minutes to dry completely. If you use water, the nail will become contract later once the moisture goes away. However, the polish is still the same, which increases the risk of chips in the future. Overall, a waterless pedicure or manicure is more mobile, more eco-friendly, and faster. It also allows for long-lasting results and helps prevent peeling or splitting in the natural nails. [4]
