Aftercare

Acrylic nails should not damage the natural nail, unless they are pulled off, therefore it is vital to the health of your nails not to do anything too strenuous. 1. Be gentle until the acrylic is fully hardened. Be gentle with their acrylic nails for the first 24-48 hours after they are applied. 2. Always remove acrylic nails properly To remove nails correctly with acetone nail remover. Clients may be able to pull off their nail, but they will certainly damage the health and quality of their natural nail. 3. Use suitable moisturisers to prevent lifting avoid using moisturiser, sun cream or tanning products which contain Lanolin or Mineral Oil. These will cause acrylics to weaken and ‘lift’. If there are any signs of lifting or damage to the nails, it is important to speak to me as soon as possible. Water and bacteria can accumulate under lifted nails and the effects are not very nice! 4. Maintain acrylics every 2 weeks Finally, always to have their infills or re-balance done regularly to keep their acrylic nails looking perfectly immaculate.
