Aftercare

Be especially careful in the first 24 hours after application and avoid intense heat during this period (for example saunas, hot baths, sunbeds etc) Use cuticle oil daily to keep your nails nourished, to stimulate growth and prevent lifting. (This can be purchased from me) Dry the hands thoroughly after washing and apply moisturiser. Always wear rubber gloves when washing up, cleaning or gardening. Always wash your hands thoroughly after being in contact with chlorine, insect repellent or sunscreen. Wear gloves when cooking with spices such as turmeric or curry powders as they can stain the nails. Dye from new jeans or newly colour hair can also stain gel polish. Avoid using your nails as tools as this could lead to cracking. Instead use the pads of your fingers (for example typing). Avoid long periods of time in water (for example long baths, swimming, washing up etc). Avoid picking or peeling the product off as this could damage your natural nails. Avoid filing your nails and pushing your cuticles back, as this will break the seal of the nail polish and can lead to chipping.

Drink lots of water Side effects really differ from clients. But headaches can happen so make sure you keep hydrated!

Keep lashes dry: For the first 24 hours, keep your lashes completely dry so the lift can set properly. This means avoiding activities like showering, bathing, swimming, and sitting in a sauna. Avoid moisture and makeup: For the first 24–48 hours, avoid moisture and makeup, including waterproof mascara. For tinted lashes, avoid strong sunlight or UV light for the first 24 hours. After your treatment, avoid sleeping on your front or side, so your lashes don’t get disturbed whilst they set in place Don’t use lash curlers, they can be harsh on your natural lashes.
