Aftercare

A few easy steps will help keep your manicure looking gorge and glossy for longer...

Avoid extreme temperatures for the first 24 hours. So no saunas or ice-baths!

Wear rubber gloves to clean and wash dishes. Chemicals, dish soap, even excess water can dry out skin and nails, and compromise gel.

Don't pick at your nails or finger skin. This can be a hard one to follow, but worth it. Applying oil can be a good habit replacement .

Use a decent nail and cuticle oil at least twice a day, especially at bedtime. Oil will soften the skin, and plump up the nail, protecting it from drying out.

And remember your nails aren't tools! Use actual tools when opening cans, peeling off labels, doing DIY etc.
