Dubai's Nail Care Experts Reveal Top Tips for Maintaining Healthy Nails

Dubai’s nail care industry is known for its luxury, innovation, and attention to detail. Beyond stunning nail art and spa treatments, many salons prioritize nail health. Leading nail care experts in Dubai have shared their top tips for keeping nails healthy and ensuring they remain strong, beautiful, and naturally elegant.

Hydrate for Healthy Nails

Just as hydration benefits your skin and hair, it’s essential for nails, too. Nail technicians in Dubai emphasize drinking enough water daily and using cuticle oils rich in Vitamin E to nourish and moisturize the nail bed. Salons often recommend hydrating treatments like paraffin wax dips to lock in moisture.

Opt for Quality Nail Products

Many Dubai-based salons advocate avoiding low-quality nail products. Cheap nail polishes and removers often contain harsh chemicals that weaken nails. Instead, salons suggest investing in products free from toxins like formaldehyde and toluene. Brands offering non-toxic or vegan nail products are increasingly becoming popular choices.

Give Your Nails a Break

Regularly applying nail polish or acrylic extensions without breaks can weaken nails over time. Dubai’s nail experts recommend taking “nail detox” days, during which your nails are free of polish, allowing them to breathe and recover.

Mind Your Diet

The secret to healthy nails isn’t just external care—it’s internal, too. Nail care professionals stress the importance of a diet rich in biotin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. Foods like eggs, nuts, spinach, and salmon contribute significantly to stronger nails.

File and Trim Properly

Improper filing and trimming techniques can lead to splitting or breaking. Nail specialists in Dubai highlight the importance of using high-quality files and maintaining a consistent filing direction. Regular trimming helps prevent snags and promotes even growth.

Protect Your Nails

Daily tasks like cleaning or washing dishes can damage nails. Experts suggest wearing gloves during chores to shield nails from harsh chemicals and prolonged water exposure, which can cause brittleness.

Visit Professional Salons Regularly

Routine visits to a professional nail salon can make all the difference. In Dubai, salons offer tailored treatments for nail strengthening, such as keratin nail infusions or hot oil treatments. Professionals can also detect early signs of nail issues and provide timely solutions.

Avoid Biting or Picking Your Nails

Biting nails or picking at cuticles is a common habit that can cause infections and weaken nails. Dubai’s nail therapists often recommend keeping nails well-manicured to reduce the temptation.

Conclusion

Healthy nails are a reflection of overall wellness and proper care. By incorporating these expert tips into your routine, you can enjoy beautiful, resilient nails that complement your style. Dubai’s nail care salons are more than just hubs of beauty; they’re centres of expertise and innovation in nail health. Whether you’re looking for dazzling designs or holistic nail care, their advice ensures that your nails remain as healthy as they are stunning.

Take the first step today by booking an appointment at Maison Amelie, one of Dubai’s premier nail salons, and treat your nails to the care they truly deserve!

I woke up hyperaware of every inch of my body. A bone must be missing, a tooth or two my hair feels like an extension of the pillow that i hide my dreams underneath

And my head is too heavy with the weight of everything I said i will think about later…

Childhood, adolescence, adulthood

It all overlaps sometimes, and I worry that my childhood is all I’m going to grow up to live and relive.

I worry that it’s a punishment,

Like Prometheus; that I’ll spend my nights picking at it trying to cleanse myself from all that a young version of me wasn’t strong enough to process

only to wake up and realize I’m carrying it between my ribs again.

To be pregnant with another girl that will relive my life like I’m reliving my mothers.

I’m overthinking again

Stages of life like gates to the many graveyard’s that I have built inside me.

A sanctuary

A place of residence to all the feelings i had no time to over analyze.

I digged my phone from underneath the pillow, something must be said..

A phantom of the words that are trying to escape is at hands reach..

An Aura. A migraine.

Its 04:51 am. The sun didn’t rise yet, why am I awake again?

Thoughts are fighting each other for a way out, like a newborn waiting to be called by a name, any would be fine; as long as it gets acknowledgment.

On my way to the bathroom, i stumbled upon keywords

Some that I believe i missed the night before..

When anxiety was eating another pathway for itself. A way out, out of my brain

Necrosis.

I spent the past couple of months studying all that can go wrong in a woman’s body.

Starting from puberty highlighting child bearing period and ending with menopause.

It’s all prewritten

And I get mad with rage because improvisations are treated like a sin that can never be forgiven.

I watched women bleeding incomplete lives from between their legs, that without shedding a tear.

We’re used to that, aren’t we ?

Bleeding.

And incomplete lives.

Distant dreams of motherhood bleeding classic tragedies into an ink jar

to be hand written as another passage in the wrenching history of all the fabricated religious books that swore by women.

Miraculous Season 6 Speculation

I pulled up this post I made after the season 4 finale to see how close I came with my predictions about season 5. Despite getting pretty much everything wrong, I did nail a few things:

Gabriel was unable to handle the power of all the Miraculous, at least at first

Felix used his control over sentibeings to target Gabriel (although notably not Adrien, whom he was trying to save if anything)

Alya regained the Fox Miraculous (admittedly in the last ep and alongside all the other previous holders)

Marinette fell in love with Chat Noir, complicating her feelings for Adrien

Luka was placed in an impossible position because he knows too much

Natalie's health declined to the point of incapacitation (although I didn’t anticipate the same with Gabriel)

Chloe and Lila established an alliance that ultimately went south

I admit most of these predictions were obvious and easily anticipated. I’d rather not embarrass myself by going too far inside M. Astruc’s head, but I can’t help speculating about what the next season holds.

Hence, I’d like to suggest a few plot threads I anticipate showing up during season 6:

~~~

Everyone assumed Cerise would be the new antagonist, using the Butterfly Miraculous to further her vendetta against Marinette and/or seize the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous to forge a wish of her own. But Cerise’s panic in the last seconds of the ep suggests she’s encountered a powerful force she can’t control. This is the new enemy, although Cerise will become its servant and vessel if it means fulfilling her revenge.

This entity will be far more dangerous than Gabriel ever was, unbound by human emotion or empathy. It will be capable of neutralizing and even possessing the new and inexperienced Miraculous holders, forcing Ladybug to create a new power-up.

Who or what exactly is it? It will either be connected to Nooroo, driven insane by a damaged Miraculous, or Tomoe Tsurugi, the only player in Gabriel’s “Perfect Alliance” gambit who didn’t get anything she wanted.

~~~

Other plot points ripe for exploration:

Adrien and Marinette’s romance is plagued by lingering feelings of attraction for Ladybug and Chat Noir, respectively. They break up over it for at least one episode because one of them suspects there’s “someone else”. One of them gets possessed over it. However, Adrinette comes back stronger than ever, reinforced by better communication, more trust, and the realization that the other one isn’t perfect and that’s okay.

One of the other couples also breaks up or gets in an argument, again for only one episode and also involving possession.

Almost everyone believes Gabriel died a hero—except for Marinette, Felix, Kagami, Nathalie, and Amelie. One of them (and you all know which one) accidentally lets the butterfly out of the bag. Angst and drama ensue.

Amelie moves into Maison Agreste as Adrien’s legal guardian. It gives Adrien and Felix the chance to rebuild their relationship as cousins and friends. But certain members of the MiracuClass still don’t completely trust Felix. It causes problems when they realize he’s Argos.

The new Miraculous holders don’t know what the hell they’re doing and make all kinds of mistakes. They use their powers for selfish reasons, and LB and CN must save them from their own messes. They swap Miraculous without even telling Ladybug. They keep revealing their secret identities to each other. They upset, misplace, or lose control of their Kwamis. They get possessed by the new antagonist and use their Miraculous powers against Ladybug and Chat Noir. If Luka teaches any of them Mirakung Fu, someone's gonna kick one of their best friends in the face. Marinette briefly considers taking all the Miraculous back until an attack on her personally confirms she had the right idea. She starts relying more on Chat Noir as a mentor, and occasionally an enforcer, for the other holders.

Cerise joins the MiracuClass at the new school Miss Bustier created. Marinette’s the only one who recognizes Cerise as Lila, but everyone else thinks Marinette is nuts.

Chloe returns to Paris mid-season, discarded by her mother and with nowhere else to go. Andre reluctantly takes her in, and it turns out she learned nothing—she blames Ladybug for everything that went wrong in her life and will stop at nothing to get revenge. She may enroll at Marinette’s school in disguise and forge an alliance with Cerise, not realizing she herself is Lila in disguise, to “get” Marinette.

Sabrina and Marc’s mutual love of soccer leads the former to develop a crush on the latter. It ends well for no one.

And finally, Luka gets his own love interest, if only because he damn well deserves it.

Épisode 9

Le lendemain, Gabin se tenait devant la fenêtre du salon, sa cigarette lui brûlait les doigts, il restait immobile, l'air absent de toutes pensées.

Il s'assit sur le canapé, puis vérifia son sac de voyage remplit de ses dernières emplettes. Gabin vérifia encore une fois ses papiers d'identité. Tout était en ordre , il était prêt à partir, il n'avait plus qu'à poser les charges d'explosif, bien réparties il ne resterait plus grand chose de cet appartement. Il était content de son dernier repas , il l'avait dégusté avec ferveur, il savait que c'etait sa dernière tranche de foie avant de tout faire péter.

Gabin se souvint soudainement du soir où ils avaient fait l'amour sous une porte cochère, c'était à l'initiative d'Amelie, il avait cèdé volontiers à ses désirs. Ils avaient beaucoup rit en aperçevant les caméras au-dessus de leurs têtes.

En pensant à cette soirée, il plaçait tranquillement ses charges explosives , il en plaça deux sur le congélateur où se trouvait le corps d'Amelie.

Il se servit un verre de vodka.

- nous-y voilà ! une page de tournée ! grogna t-il

- à l'avenir ! dit-il en levant un verre à nouveau remplit

C'était en novembre denier, ils avaient loué une maison pour quelques jours, arrivés là-bas, trempés par la pluie, Gabin se souvient que le maquillage d'Amelie coulait sur ses joues ce qui lui donnait un air sauvage. Gabin se souvient très bien qu'il s'était demandé si elle allait lui arracher ses vêtements, le gifler, le fouetter, ses phantasmes tournaient en boucle à cet instant là.

Amelie l'avait plaqué contre un mur et dit:

- je t'aime

Sans qu'il comprenne comment il se retrouva Allongé avec son amie au-dessus de lui , elle avait jouit en criant, il s'en souvenait très bien.

Ils étaient restés l'un contre l'autre, haletant, il lui avait caressé les cheveux en lui murmurant des mots doux à l'oreille.

- Tu es heureuse ? avait-il demandé

- Hum ! ouï peut-être

- ne me dit pas non ! ...

Amelie sourit en écartant une mèche de son oeil

- idiot ! rétorqua t-elle

C'est pendant ce séjour qu'il avait pris la décision de l'empoisonner quand ils reviendraient. Il n'était pas sûr d'elle et il savait qu'il manquait de confiance en lui. Il ne voulait plus être quitté, alors il agirait.

Je vais te montrer une de mes vidéos que j'ai apporté lui avait dit Gabin avant de l'embrasser.

Elle s'était enveloppée dans une couverture et s'était installée devant le poste.

Gabin l'avait trouvé très belle, il avait préparé un plateau pour eux deux. Il expliqua rapidement que c'était l'histoire du dragon, de la femme du dragon avec une tête de vampire.

Sur l'écran, la ville apparue toute illuminée, la musique étrange annonçait le dragon arrivant de loin, il se dirigea vers la cathédrale, il dépassa un grand pilier puis traversa une esplanade pour entrer dans l'édifice. Le monument est tellement haut qu'il donne l'impression de toucher le ciel.

Un homme surgit de l'ombre , il grimpa sur le dragon puis il lui transperça le dos en lui assenant des coups d'épée.

Le dragon dans un sursaut le fit tomber.

A ce moment là, Gabin pensa à sa mère, étant sûr que le dragon c'était elle. Petit il sentait les muscles de sa mère quand elle le serrait très fort. Elle lui transmettait certainement ses désirs, son amour. Il se rappelle qu'il étouffait dans ses bras là . il aurait aimé être à la place de l'homme sortit de l'ombre mais à l'époque il était trop petit.

Un autre personnage assistait au loin à la scène mais on le distinguait très mal.

La vidéo avait connu un succès d'estime , elle était virale sur le net. Grâce à ce court métrage, Gabin eût une certaine reconnaissance.

Ils restèrent affalés devant la télé.

- le tatouage du dragon ça vient de là ? demanda Amelie

- Oui...

Et il avait rajouté :

- ça me rapporte du fric et j'y tiens c'est sentimental

- j'ai aimé ton film dit Amelie

Gabin se souvint qu'il était parti dans ses pensées.

Il ne voulait pas être quitté, il tenait à elle comme à la prunelle de ses yeux , tout mais pas cela alors quand ils reviendraient il l'endormirait pour toujours.
