You’re not guilty of these nail mistakes, are you? A professional often comes across these three.
We interviewed an experienced nail artist Viktoria from Polarics from the Nails for you nail salon in Helsinki. He lists common nail mistakes in this article. He reveals to Tyyli.com which three mochas are the most typical for Finns.
Victoria Spolarics was born in Ukraine and moved to Europe as a child. He moved to Finland five years ago. He started his career as a nail artist at the age of 16 more than a decade ago.

Moisturizing the nails is forgotten
Viktoria Spolarics reminds you to moisturize your nails. He recommends resorting to various caring nail and cuticle oils.
– Nails need moisturizing just as much as the face. The best way to moisturize your nails is with different conditioning and moisturizing oils.
– For example, natural argan, almond and jojoba oils are excellent for this job. Even the olive oil found in the kitchen cupboard acts as a nail moisturizer, Spolarics advises.

Constant use of nail hardeners and transparent nail polish
If you constantly polish your nails with nail hardeners or transparent nail polish, Spolarics advises you to try to get rid of this habit.
– You might imagine that nails get stronger if you constantly add layers of transparent nail polish to them. In fact, it’s the opposite phenomenon, as constant exposure to chemicals makes your own nails soft. At the same time, dirt and bacteria accumulate in them, warns Spolarics.
Cutting with nail clippers
Victoria Spolarics advises to give up nail clippers that damage the nails.
– Nails should always be shortened by filing rather than cutting with nail clippers. By filing, you can shape your nails into a beautiful shape. At the same time, they do not flake, crack or break, he instructs.
