Article 1:red("bold(" TOP FALL NAIL COLORS")") - bold("Emerald Green") As we mentioned above, jewel tones are in this fall. Get inspired with a deep emerald hue that has just a hint of blue in it. For an extra festive look, you can choose a shimmery emerald polish or even use a matte topcoat to create a unique nail. Emerald nails look fantastic with just about any fall apparel, from a contrasting burnt orange sweater to a little black dress. - bold("Berry Wine") Somewhere between a red and a purple is a gorgeous berry wine polish that is just waiting for you. This deep color is ultra autumnal while still remaining feminine and sexy. Wine-colored nails look fabulous with gold accents, so don’t be afraid to add some bold jewelry or sparkly sequins. - bold("Vampire Red") A so-red-it’s-almost-black vampiric polish is the perfect spooky color to carry you from October into the rest of fall. Bloody reds look super sleek when paired with a bold nail almond, stiletto, or coffin nail shape. To take this polish a step further, pair it with a matte topcoat at our nail salon. - bold("Midnight Blue") Dark, stormy, and with just a hint of brilliance, a midnight blue polish is the perfect way to add a unique color to your nails. Choose a polish that is brighter than navy, but still dark and proper. Midnight blue nails look great with a shiny topcoat and can be dressed up with sparkly silver accents. - bold("Gold") We’re stepping away from the deep, rich tones above to bring you a less expected fall favorite: gold nail polish. An opaque gold nail polish looks fantastic on any nail shape and length, meaning anyone can pull it off. While this may seem like an extravagant look, you can dress it down with a cozy sweater and boots. Choose Your Fall Nail Color at Our Nail Salon There are a lot of nail polishes to choose from at Forum Nail Salon, your nail salon in Gilbert, AZ, but we know you’ll pick the perfect one! While we try to accommodate walk-ins, the best way to ensure a timely manicure is to book your appointment online or by calling our salon. We look forward to giving you a fall manicure you’ll love!

Not only will this leave a good impression with your new coworkers, but it will also ensure your hands are in top-shape for note-taking. Best of all, everyone knows that a manicure is a major confidence booster.

After all, that’s one of the main reasons to treat yourself to a manicure! But, aesthetics aren’t the only benefit of having a nail place that you know and love. Regular manicures can also give you a chance to pamper your nails and keep your nails and cuticles healthy. Not only do unhealthy, dry, and cracked cuticles hurt, but they can also make your nails look less-than-their-best. Cuticles play an important role in the health of our nails. They act as a protective layer to prevent bacteria from reaching the new growth area of your finger- and toenails. When this area becomes dry or damaged, it runs the risk of becoming infected. For this reason, taking care of your cuticles is extremely important! Keep reading to learn some easy ways to ensure your cuticles remain in good shape. bold("- Moisturize") Moisturizing is one of the most important things to do to keep your cuticles healthy. Dry cuticles have a tendency to split or lift from the nail bed, allowing bacteria to gain access. Regularly use hand lotion, especially after washing your hands as soap can be very drying. At night, apply cuticle oil or petroleum jelly to the cuticles for some extra overnight pampering. At-home wax treatments or oil treatments are a great way to give dry cuticles a refresh. bold("- Protect Your Cuticles And Nails") When cleaning or using harsh chemicals, make sure to wear a pair of gloves to protect your nails from the drying agents in the cleaners. These can wreak havoc on your nails and cuticles and make them weak, brittle, and prone to infection. If you work with tools or machinery, make sure to be cautious of nail injuries. Keep your nails short and always follow best safety practices to reduce the likelihood of an accident. bold("- Break Bad Habits") If you have a tendency to bite or pick at your nails or cuticles, try to make an effort to stop this. Not only can this break the skin and make your nails look unsightly, but it can also make way for serious infections as our mouths and hands are full of bacteria. Additionally, having broken skin around the nails can make it difficult to treat yourself to manicures at a nail salon. bold("- Choose The Best Nail Salons") Your nail salon should follow the best sanitation practices. This includes never reusing non-metallic tools on customers. At Forum Nail Salon, your nail salon in Gilbert, AZ, we take our clients’ safety seriously. At your appointment, we will use brand new files, pumice stones, and buffers. Our pedicure thrones are pipe-free and we use new, disposable liners for each client. Our nail technicians are the best in the area, and take their time to ensure your nails and cuticles are properly cared for rather than rushing through the appointment. Our technicians are gentle and steady, but if you feel any discomfort or prefer to not have your cuticles trimmed, just let us know and we’d be happy to adjust our technique for you! bold("- Care For Cuts Properly") If you get a small cut on your cuticle, it can be easy to just try to ignore it until it heals. However, you should take cuticle cuts (and wounds anywhere on your body!) seriously. Make sure to thoroughly wash your cut with soap and water and apply an antibiotic ointment. Cover the cut with a bandaid and repeat the process several times per day until the cut is fully healed. If your cut becomes swollen, painful, or oozy, make sure to see a doctor as this could be a sign of an infection. Visit Our Gilbert Nail Salon! We’d love to welcome you to our nail salon where you can receive an herbal manicure with fresh herbs and essential oils of your choice. Some of our services even come with a Dead Sea mud mask for your hands or feet that offer extra hydration for your cuticles. While we try to accommodate walk-ins, the best way to ensure timely service is to book your appointment ahead of time. You can do this online or by calling our nail salon!

Do you have to work hard to keep your nails from breaking and splitting? For some people, it’s something they don’t even think about — their nails just grow without any effort whatsoever. But, if you’re like the rest of us, it’s not that easy. The team at Forum Nail Salon in Gilbert is here to help take some of the stress out of making your nails look great. We’ve put together tips on how to get strong, healthy nails by focusing on certain daily habits and diet. Make these tips part of your routine, and you’ll have strong nails in no time! And don’t forget, when you need a quick fix, Forum Nail Salon offers acrylic nail services in addition to our classic, herbal, and shellac manicures. bold("- Moisturize") Dry nails break. Period. If you want to keep them strong, keep them moisturized. It’s as simple as rubbing your nails with lotion or oil (such as jojoba or olive oil). The benefit is two-fold: the lotion or oil will keep your nails from drying out and the act of messaging it into your nails is great for circulation and promoting growth. bold("- Stay Hydrated") Drinking enough water seems to be the answer to everything — and strong nails are no exception! When you’re dehydrated, it not only affects your overall health, but it has a big impact on your hair, skin, and nails. Make sure you’re getting at least eight glasses a day, and increase that amount if you exercise. bold("- Avoid Acetone-Based Polish Remover") Acetone-based polish removers are great for quickly removing stubborn polish, but they wreak havoc on your nails. Try to use acetone-free remover most of the time, and reserve the acetone-based polish for once-in-awhile, when you just can’t quite get off all of the glitter. bold("- Give Your Nails A Break") Nails need to breathe. If you want strong nails, make sure to give them time to breathe every now and then. If you’ve been wearing the same polish for a week, it’s probably time to take it off for a few days and give your nails some “breathing time.” bold("- Eat A Healthy Diet") Everyone has heard the phrase “You are what you eat,” and that applies to nail health too! Eating a diet rich in quality protein, and taking a biotin supplement or multivitamin can help provide the building blocks for strong, healthy nails. bold("- Wear Rubber Gloves When Cleaning") It might take an extra 30 seconds to dig out those gloves, but make a habit of putting on rubber gloves before you start cleaning. Chemicals and detergents used when you wash dishes or clean the shower do a great job of removing grease and soap scum, but they also strip your nails of natural oils. Also, keep in mind that soaking your nails in water for an excessive amount of time will weaken them. Making it a routine of wearing gloves will help keep your nails strong and dry. bold("Visit Forum Nail Salon In Gilbert") If you’re trying to improve the overall health of your nails, Forum Nail Salon can help. Routine manicures can help keep nails clean and moisturized, not to mention they’re a great stress-reliever! Check out our services menu and book an appointment today.

Unfortunately, a majority of us have at least one or two bad habits that we might not even realize affect the overall health of our nails. While some may be obvious, there are quite a few habits that people may not even realize are affecting their nails. The team at Forum Nail Salon is dedicated to ensuring that our clients feel and look their best when they leave our salon. Though the services that we offer can definitely ensure that your nails look their best, the habits that you have outside can undoubtedly affect the overall well being of your nails. In today’s blog, we are going to touch on a few of the bad habits that are surely affecting your nails. bold("- Biting Your Nails") One of the most common and well-known bad habits in regards to nails is biting. This is a habit that starts at a young age, but it certainly doesn’t stop there. Many adults bite their nails regularly, and the downfalls of this bad habit are more than people would realize. Of course, the aesthetic look of nails suffers when someone is biting them, but the effects go further than that. If nail biting continues for long periods, the shape of the nail can become deformed. Ridges and bumps can begin to form over time, making the nails look all the worse. bold("- Messing With Your Cuticles") A habit that so many of us are guilty of is picking at our cuticles. The moment that they start to get dry it becomes incredibly easy to pick at them, bite them, or rip them off. The more that you mess with your cuticles, the more difficult it becomes to stop doing this. While it may seem like picking at your cuticles will make them less noticeable, the opposite is what will happen. Cuticles that are picked at are going to look dry and damaged and become all the more painful. bold("- Not Replacing Nail Polish") Nail polish is a great way to make your nails look great. With the myriad of colors available, the possibilities are endless. Even while this is a product to help make nails look beautiful, it is capable of causing some damage. When nail polish isn’t removed for weeks at a time, it can cause some damage to the nails. For starters, the nail polish keeps moisture from reaching your nails, which dries them out. If you see white spots on your nails when you do finally remove nail polish, this is a sign that your nails are too dry. Even though it may be a hassle to have to remove the polish from your nails, don’t let this be a bad habit that puts the health of your nails on the line. bold("- Picking At Polish") Choosing to leave nail polish on for weeks at a time is a bad habit, but so is picking it off. Nail polish is not intended to be something that you can just peel off, so doing it while you’re bored or stressed is not ideal. Though it may seem like a bad habit or a nervous tick, the downside to picking at your nail polish is that it can start to remove the top layer of your nail. Even if you begin to see your nail polish chip, it’s better to remove the nail polish with an actual remover so as not to damage your nails. bold("- Too Much Coffee") The last thing that you probably think of when drinking your morning is how it’s affecting your nails. Unfortunately, the wonderful beverage that brings life to your mornings is considered a bad habit in terms of your nail health. Your nails do a great job of showcasing your health. If you are consuming items that are high in caffeine all too often, your nails are likely to be weak and brittle. Maintaining a healthy diet paired with water intake is one of the very best ways to ensure your nails look great.
