Nail Aftercare
Congratulations! You are the proud owner of a new set of natural nail overlays or nail enhancements, please take pride but also take care and attention, Your new nails will need regular maintenance every 2-3 weeks, as your natural nail grows the product will grow with it, thus leaving a small gap at the cuticle end of the nail, this gap will need in-filling and your nails rebalanced, Occasionally you may lose a nail but the advantage with nail enhancements is that we can put another one on for you!
Regular maintenance will prolong will prolong your investment, I highly recommend you apply solar oil twice daily, if you remove your varnish it is essential that you use a non acetone nail varnish remover, if you re-apply varnish you must use a good quality base coat.
Please remember the following points:
- Do always use the pads of you fingers on switches
- Do pick things up with the sides of your fingers
- Do use a pencil end on a telephone or calculator
- Do not prod or poke behind the nails
- Do wear gloves for all house work or gardening
- When removing/sorting washing do not grab with your new nails, remove with the pads of your fingers
- Do use as jewels and not tools!
- Do not attempt home removal, as you could damage your natural nail
- Do not be tempted to pick or bite your nails
- Wear gloves when applying sun screen
- Cover your nails on sun beds and apply solar oil straight away after your session
- Apply solar oil straight away after your swimming session
- Wear gloves when applying make-up, creams and fake tan
- Do not leave your nails soaking in a warm bath, wear gloves or keep your hands out of the water
- Do not bang your nails on any surfaces
- Do not flick your nails
- Please be aware that stroking pets can cause your nails to discolour, and lift due to lanolin in your pet's coat
Good luck with your nails and have fun!
