The first 24 hours after your appointment are key. Your builder gel is still settling into its full strength, so how you treat your nails during this time really matters.
- Avoid extreme heat like very hot baths, saunas, and steam rooms
- Wear rubber gloves for washing up or cleaning with harsh products
- Do not pick, peel, or poke at the gel while it’s fresh
- Protect your nails from staining agents like turmeric or hair dye
- Try not to use your nails as tools to open parcels or cans
- Cuticle oil daily is non-negotiable if you want your nails to last.
- Please treat your nails like jewels, not tools - avoid using them to open cans, packages, or scrape surfaces.
- Always wear rubber gloves when cleaning, washing up, or gardening to protect your builder gel from harsh chemicals and water exposure.
- Try to keep your nails at a manageable length for your lifestyle to prevent accidental snags or breakage.
- If you use heavy sunscreens or tanning products, I suggest washing your hands after application to prevent any potential lifting.
- Use a soft nail brush to clean underneath your nails rather than sharp tools, which can damage the delicate seal under the nail.
- Picking or peeling (this WILL damage your natural nails)
- Using your nails as tools
- Biting your nails or surrounding skin
- Harsh chemicals without gloves
- Ignoring lifting instead of messaging me
To keep your nails looking their best and prevent lifting or breakage, I recommend infills every 2-3 weeks.
Leaving it too long puts extra stress on your natural nails as the product grows out.
My diary fills up quickly, so I always recommend booking your next appointment in advance.
If something doesn’t feel right, or you notice lifting or damage, please message me straight away.
I genuinely care about your nail health and I’m always happy to help.
