Nail Aftercare

A few simple habits keep your set looking fresh and protect your natural nails between appointments.

🧼

First 24 Hours

  • Avoid hot water, long showers, and saunas for the first 24 hours so the polish fully cures.
  • Skip the gym, pools, and heavy housework on day one.
  • Don't pick at the cuticle area or push on the edges of your nails.
💧

Daily Care

  • Apply cuticle oil daily — this is the #1 thing for nail health and longevity.
  • Wear gloves when cleaning, gardening, or washing dishes.
  • Use your fingertips, not your nails, to open cans, scratch labels, or pry things.
🛁

What to Avoid

  • Don't bite, peel, or pick at your nails or polish.
  • Avoid acetone-based hand sanitizers — they break down gel and chrome.
  • Avoid prolonged hot water exposure (long baths, hot tubs).

Refills & Removal

  • Book a refill every 2–3 weeks to maintain shape and prevent lifting.
  • Never pull or peel a set off — this rips off layers of your natural nail.
  • Book a proper removal appointment or soak gently in pure acetone with cotton + foil for 20–30 min.
🚨

When to Reach Out

  • If a nail breaks, lifts, or pops off in the first 7 days, message me — repairs are usually quick.
  • If you notice redness, swelling, or any discomfort, stop using and reach out right away.
