Nail Care Tips for a Stain-Free Holi
While Holi is all about colours, fun and celebration, it can be tough on your nails. The synthetic pigments in colours can stain your nails, dry them out or even cause breakage. To ensure your nails stay strong and stain-free, follow these Holi Nail Care Tips using Ellement Co.’s nail care essentials.
1. Start with a Protective Base Coat
Applying a base coat before your nail polish or gel application acts as a shield against Holi colours. It creates a protective barrier, preventing pigments from seeping into the nail bed.
✔ Try: Ellement Co.’s Base Coat - A must-have for long-lasting and damage-free nails.
2. Seal It with a Gloss Top Coat
A gloss top coat not only adds a beautiful shine but also strengthens your manicure, making it more resistant to stains. A good top coat will make it easier to clean off any Holi colours from your nails.
✔ Try: Ellement Co.’s Gloss Top Coat for a high-shine, chip-resistant finish.
✔ Get the duo pack of Ellement Essentials Value Pack with both Base Coat & Gloss Top Coat
3. Hydrate with Cuticle Oil
Holi colours can leave your nails dry and brittle, leading to breakage. To keep your nails and cuticles nourished, apply cuticle oil before and after the festival. This will also prevent the colours from sticking to the skin around your nails.
✔ Try: Ellement Co.’s Cuticle Oil for deep hydration and protection.
4. Use a Nail Cleanser for Post-Holi Cleanup
Even with a base coat and top coat, some colours might stick to your nails. A nail cleanser helps remove stubborn stains while keeping your nails healthy and hydrated.
✔ Try: Ellement Co.’s Nail Cleanser for a quick and effective cleanse.
5. Go the Extra Mile: Ellement Co.’s Safe and Healthy Removal Liquids
Invest in a gentle, acetone-free remover to safely remove colour stains without drying out your nails. Get safe gel polish removals at home - buff, wrap & buff again!
✔ Try: Ellement Co.’s Polish Vanish paired with Lint Free Wipes to remove Nail Polish and Back to Bare Liquid / Wraps to remove Gel Polish safely.
