A dry manicure follows the same basic steps as a standard manicure, with one noticeable exception — you guessed it; you don't soak your nails. Instead of soaking, your manicurist will likely ask you to wash and sanitize your hands before using cuticle oil to soften the cuticles and prep them for your manicure. If you're concerned about missing out on the relaxation that comes with soaking, don't worry because your manicurist will usually give you a relaxing hand massage to provide the pampering you need.
Dry manicures are steadily gaining popularity because of their many clear benefits. First, a dry manicure is much more hygienic because your salon likely uses the same set of bowls for all of its clients, and things can get quite unsanitary as a result. As Shapiro clarified to Well+Good, "A lot of salons don't have the time or the staff to clean their tubs or bowls." In fact, "More than 70 percent of women have fungal infections in their nails, and the majority of the time it's due to this cleanliness issue."
If you lead a busy life but still want to indulge in some self-care, a dry manicure is ideal. It's a lot less time-consuming than your standard manicure because you're skipping out on the soaking. Depending on your technician's speed, you might even be able to schedule your next nail appointment during your lunch break instead of waiting for the weekend.
