Caring for your nails is extremely important it can really make your nails better during the life of your manicure and help your nails get stronger for your next manicure too! Never ever peel off your gel. If you do, your next manicure might not last as long since your nails are weaker. Properly remove your gel manicures. safely. Hydrate with cuticle oil & hand cream daily to keep your nails flexible! Put the cuticle oil all over your nail, around your free edge and the skin around it. Never use your nails as tools. Use a box cutter or can opener instead! I like to wear gloves when I’m cleaning or doing dishes to avoid drying out my hands/nails and exposing them to too much water. I hope some of these tips are helpful! As you can see, there are so many things to keep in mind to get your gel manicure to last. But over time, these will all become second nature, and your manicures will look even better than the last. If you still have questions or issues, give me a call or send me a text, DM!
