If memory serves right, there was once upon a time when a manicure really just meant one thing: Basic polish swiped onto filed nails, finished with a shiny top coat. Today, there are many more options to consider, and it has become tempting to forgo the old-school, quick-to-chip manicure for something that offers longer-lasting benefits.

We give you a glimpse at the type of manicure that will leave you glowing moreover with added health benefits at a friendly price;

Classic Manicure

Lasting for about a week or so, this is the original manicure, using the same products you can buy at a drugstore. You simply pick a level of pampering—basic to deluxe—and get your cuticles clipped, nails filed, and polish applied. Don’t forget that “deluxe” may just include a hand massage. There is just so much more to the manicure experience, these days.

Gel Manicure

Think of it as an advanced version of a basic manicure that uses a UV light to cure and harden liquid polish, which is what makes a gel manicure last up to three times longer than regular polish. There’s one catch: You’ll have to go back to the spa to get it soaked off. Avoid trying to pick it off as it will lead to stripped nails.

This lasts around two to three weeks. There are secrets to making a gel manicure last, and this primarily means just being kind to your hands.

Plexigel/Gel Building Manicure

Plexigel is a semi-hard gel, making it more durable than the soft nail gel manicure. This method is newer, and can be a problem-solver for flat, brittle, or torn nails. Plexigel is a flexible, yet tough, coating that plumps, lengthens, or repairs a multitude of nail issues. This often lasts a little over three weeks.

Dip Powder Manicure

For this type of manicure, each nail color comes in the form of a pigmented powder, which your nails are dipped into after being applied a clear liquid formula. It’s generally stronger than gel and lasts longer. You’ll also see it referred to as merely “SNS,” and it requires a trip to the spa to get the polish professionally taken off. It’s often marketed as a healthier alternative to acrylic with similar results. This often lasts longer – which is closer to a month.

Acrylic Manicure

This might evoke flashbacks to the long, square-tipped French manicure trend of the early 2000s, but acrylic manicures are still quite popular despite the emergence of gel and dip powder. You can customize an acrylic manicure to look any way you’d like, which makes it appealing for long-lasting color in a variety of shapes and designs. A mix of powder and liquid formulas are typically applied over your natural nail and false tips. These also last for close to four weeks making them quite long lasting.

The Health Component, a Lymphatic Drain

At Inspirations World of Beauty, we don’t just end at a perfect manicure or pedicure but we take it a notch higher by involving the Lymphatic Drain Massage after every pampering session. Lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, is a gentle form of massage used to relieve painful swelling in your arms and legs. The Lymphatic drainage is key for flushing toxins, boosting cell regeneration and improving circulation.
