Use cuticle oil regularly, atleast twice a day. in colder weather you may need to use more often to avoid your nails becoming dehydrated and curling away from the enhancement. i sell cuticle oil pens for £8, get in touch if you would like one.
Avoid the use of harsh chemicals, soaking your hands in water for long periods of time without wearing gloves! water and chemicals can make your gel come away from your natural nail causing lifting
You are best off trying to avoid steam rooms and saunas with your nail enhancements, as it can effect the longevity of your nails. if this cannot be avoided try oil before and after your session. same goes for swimming, if it can be avoided please do. please be aware regular submersion of nails and exposure to chlorine could effect the longevity of your nails
please try avoid picking things, opening cans etc with your nails and use your pads of your fingers instead, and knives or keysies to open boxes! picking at celotape is also a big reason for lifting around christmas time so please be aware of this.
If you do have any issues with your nails prior to your next appointment please do get in touch! any lifting within the first 3 days i will fix for free, not all nails suit all gel types. sometimes it can be a trial and error to find the gel that best works for you and your nail type. if you are unsure what you are best booking you can book in for a prescriptive manicure and consultation and we can go over your lifestyle and nail type and go for what will be most likely to work best.
