Aftercare

Gel Nail Aftercare Advice Thank you for choosing a gel nail treatment. To keep your nails looking their best for as long as possible, please follow the guidance below. Do’s • Apply cuticle oil daily. Massage a small drop into each nail and cuticle morning and evening to keep your nails and skin hydrated, flexible, and healthy. • Wear gloves when washing dishes, cleaning, gardening, or using any household chemicals. • Use hand cream regularly to maintain softness and prevent dryness around the nails . • Be gentle with your nails. Remember – nails are jewels, not tools. • Book regular maintenance appointments every 2–3 weeks to keep your nails looking fresh and to avoid damage. • Contact your nail technician if you experience any lifting, damage, or discomfort so it can be assessed professionally. Don’ts • Do not pick, peel, or bite your gel polish. This can remove layers of your natural nail and cause weakening or breakage. • Do not file or cut your nails yourself. This can break the seal and lead to lifting or chipping. • Do not soak nails in hot water for long periods. Extended exposure can cause the gel to soften or lift. • Do not use your nails as tools. Avoid prying, scratching, or opening items with them. • Do not attempt to remove the gel yourself. Always return for safe, professional removal to protect your natural nails. Top Tip A few drops of cuticle oil each day make a big difference — it keeps the gel flexible and prevents premature lifting or cracking.
