Give GG Manicures

A fresh manicure is the perfect way to connect, chat, and bring a smile to a senior's day! Keep your nail sessions safe, hygienic, and relaxing with these essential rules and tips from GG National.

The Golden Rules (Safety First!)

- Wash Up: Always wash or sanitize your hands immediately before and after giving a manicure.

- Consent First: Always ask a senior if they would actually like a manicure before you begin your session.

- No Sharp Tools: Never use nail clippers, cuticle pushers, or any other sharp metal tools. Stick strictly to nail files and polish!

GG National Tips & Tricks

The VIP Treatment: Apply a little hand moisturizer and ask the senior if they would like a relaxing hand massage before you paint.

- Prep the Canvas: Always apply a base coat before your colored polish to protect the nail. (Pro-tip: If you don't have a base coat, using a top coat works just as well!)

- One File, One Senior: Nail files are strictly single-use only to keep things hygienic. Once you finish, either toss the file in the trash or gift it to the senior to keep!
