Thank you for choosing Nails by Lara! To keep your nails looking beautiful and lasting as long as possible, please follow these aftercare guidelines:
Immediate Care • Avoid excessive contact with water for the first 24 hours while the product fully sets. • Be gentle with your nails, they are strong but not unbreakable.
Daily Care • Moisturize: Apply cuticle oil daily to prevent dryness and lifting. • Protection: Wear gloves when cleaning, gardening, or using harsh chemicals. • Avoid misuse: Don’t use nails as tools (e.g., opening cans, scratching off labels). • Keep them clean: Gently wash under your nails with a soft brush.
Maintenance • Schedule infills every 3-4 weeks to maintain strength and prevent lifting. • If a nail becomes loose or damaged, do not pull it off—this can cause injury to the natural nail. Book a professional repair. • Avoid at-home removal. Always return to the salon for safe removal to protect your natural nails.
Lifestyle Advice • Limit exposure to acetone, cleaning products and harsh solvents—they may break down the enhancement. • Be cautious with extreme temperature changes (sauna, hot tubs, icy water), as they may affect durability. • Keep nails at a length that suits your lifestyle—overly long nails are more prone to damage.
Warning Signs – Contact Your Technician If: • You notice lifting, cracks, greenish discolouration or yellow crusty skin under the nail as this can indicate an allergic reaction and requires attention. • You experience pain, redness, or swelling around the enhancement.
