NAIL AFTER CARE
- Always use gloves when washing up, cleaning or gardening, as household chemicals will strip natural nails and skin of natural oils, thus, affecting it's look and condition.
- Use cuticle oil every night just before going to bed. This will nourish the root of the natural nail allowing it to produce stronger, more flexible and non-flaking natural nail.
- Moisturise your hands every time after washing hands. This will allow the skin to stay smooth and youthful.
- Never use your nail extensions as tools, treat them the way you would your natural nails.
- Always use a base coat under nail polish to avoid yellowing of nail enchacements or natural nails.
- Use non-acetone nail polish remover for not acetone polish remover for removing nai polish from acrylic nails.
- Take care around extreme heat or naked flames as nail extensions may melt.
- Do not pick off the extensions as this will remove the upper layer of your natural nails, thus causing damage. Have them removed professionally in an appropriate Remover (acrylic or soak-off gel) or special filing technique (file-off gel) followed by a manicure to keep natural nails in good shape.
- If lifting can be seen please contact me as soon as possible as water and dirt can get under it and cause an infection.
- If any adverse reaction occurs: rash, redness, inflammation of any kind around the nails please contact your GP immediately.
- Tinted lotions, suntan creams and hair products can discolour your nail extensions so wash your hands thoroughly after use or wear gloves to protect them.
- Do not miss your regular maintenance appointments to ensure your nails stay looking at their best. It is advised to carry out infills every 2 to 3 weeks, otherwise the product will become weaker (due to wear and tear and incorrect structure) and chances to break the nails are higher.
- Do not try to do home repairs or remove extensions yourself - this could cause a lot more damage than you realise and cause bacterial infection.
