Pedicure Precision: Why a Flawlessly Clean Nail Plate Guarantees Longevity

You might have experienced a pedicure where the polish lifted or peeled surprisingly quickly, even though it looked perfect when you left the salon. The likely culprit wasn't the polish itself, but invisible contamination on the nail plate.

The Contamination Risk: Before gel or polish is applied to the toenails, the plate must be flawlessly clean and dehydrated.

• Residual Oils: Any trace of foot cream, body lotion, or residual cuticle oil left from previous steps will act as a barrier between the polish and the nail. This guarantees the polish will fail.

• Dust and Dirt: Filing residue and dust, if not meticulously wiped away with a professional cleanser, will contaminate the base coat.

Our Hygiene Standards Auckland: At Satomi Nails, our pedicure polish longevity relies on the final, critical step: Nail Plate Dehydration. We use a professional cleanser and lint-free wipes to ensure the toenail plate is perfectly stripped of all moisture and contaminants before the base coat touches the surface. This meticulous attention to cleanliness ensures a rock-solid bond. Precision in preparation is the silent key to a durable toe nail polish longevity.
