MANICURE AFTERCARE
Wear gloves whenever you use household products or repeatedly come into contact with hot water (when washing dishes, for example).
-
Do not use your nails as tools, to rub a surface or to open objects.
-
Take particular care when your hands are in water, especially hot water, for long periods, as your natural nails will become weaker and may cause the gel to peel off.
-
Avoid prolonged exposure to water or hot water on the first day to help maintain the longevity of your manicure.
-
Never peel or pull off the gel if it starts to lift, as this can damage your natural nail.
It seems obvious, but don't peel off the gel yourself.
This removes not only all the work that's been done, but also the top layer of your nail. This damages and weakens it, making the nail more prone to rough textures and white spots. It also makes them more prone to cracks and breaks, which nobody wants. If you ever see your gel starting to peel off, don't touch it despite the temptation - they'll stay beautiful longer!
