Happy New Year and Hello Valentine's Day Prep at Hanny & Chuck!

Happy New Year, everyone! As we all welcome the fresh start that a new year brings, here at Hanny & Chuck, we're already buzzing with excitement for Valentine's Day. You know, it's that time of the year when love is in the air, and we get to express it in so many creative ways, especially through our nail wraps!

I must confess, I often find myself mixing and matching leftover sets to create unique and sometimes quirky combinations. It's like a little nail art adventure every time! But, let's be honest, sometimes you come across a set that's just so perfectly curated that it needs no tweaking. And for this Valentine's season, it's all about the 'Snuggle Hug' set.

'Snuggle Hug' is a dreamy mix of reds and pinks, adorned with adorable hearts and crosses. It's one of those sets where you look at it and just know – it's love at first sight. The best part? It requires absolutely no effort to mix and match because it's already done for you, and done exquisitely at that.

So, let's talk about the application process. Given the chilly weather we've been having, my nails have been feeling the brunt of it. They're a bit on the dry side because of all the indoor heating. To counter this, I started with OPI's Nail Envy nail strengthener as a base coat. It's my little secret weapon for keeping my nails strong and healthy during these harsh winter months.

Next up, applying 'Snuggle Hug'. One tip I've learned is to size down when you can't find an exact fit and then gently stretch the wraps to fit during the application process. This little trick works wonders for achieving that flawless, just-right fit. And since I have wider nails, I absolutely adore these Deluxe sets from Hanny & Chuck – I can always find the perfect size.

The final step in my routine is sealing the deal with my go-to top coat, Sally Hansen Miracle Gel. A thin layer of this, and voila, the wraps are perfectly sealed and ready to shine.

A quick note for those who are new to nail wraps – patience is key. I’ve found that applying them at night works best for me, as they need a bit of time to cure and harden onto the nails. If you're hands-on throughout the day, you might notice they can lift a bit if they haven't fully set. So, take it easy with your hands post-application, especially when it comes to heated showers or heavy tasks, at least while the wraps are curing.

Once you get into your groove with nail wraps, you can apply them anytime that suits you. It's all about finding that sweet spot in your routine. And remember, every set you choose is a reflection of your unique style – have fun with it!

So here's to a fabulous start to the year, and to getting our Valentine's Day nail game on point with 'Snuggle Hug'. Stay warm, stay stylish, and let's spread some love, one manicure a time! 💅❤️🌹
