Aftercare

After getting your new nails…….. • In the first 24 hours after application, be sure to avoid intense heat such as saunas, hot tubs and sun beds. Although the nails are dry they are still hardening within this period. • Apply cuticle oil three times a day to prevent nails from chipping and lifting. Regular application helps to stimulate growth and also helps to reduce cuticle over production. • Rinse hands throughly after applying skin / body care products such as retinol, SPF and exfoliants. Residue being left on nails can not only distort the colours but also can effect longevity. • Always wear rubber gloves when cleaning, washing up or gardening. • Please be aware that some foods, spices and even clothing can stain the nails. ( Turmeric, curry powder and new denim). • Avoid using your nails as tools, doing so can increase the risk of cracking, chipping and lifting. • Avoid picking or peeling the product off of your nails. Doing so will not only damage the natural nail by removing layers of it, but it will also lead to your next manicure not lasting as well. • Try to avoid keeping your nails in water for long periods of time. Doing so causes the natural nail to expand which in turn causes lifting and chipping. • Always return to the salon for regular maintenance and removal and follow any advice given by your nail technician.
