AFTERCARE
The moment you leave with your new beautiful nails, the acrylic will still continue to polymerize - Please be careful and gentle during the 24-48 hour time period for your nails to fully set by avoiding strenuous activities.
This will also help you become accustomed to your nails, whether it's a new shape, length, or just new in general.
​
Wear protective hand gear like gloves, while performing tasks around the house such as dish washing, housekeeping, using any cleaning/chemical products, as some may be harmful to your nail enhancements.
Extreme or repetitive pressure can also weaken your enhancements and cause lifting or breakage.
Several health conditions and medications will also affect your natural nails, enhancements and how they wear.
​
If you find your enhancements lifting, please do not attempt to glue them down - without proper preparations of the nail, you may trap moisture under the enhancement and cause bacterial infections such as pseudomonas or "green nail syndrome".
​
Booking your appointments in proper intervals will help maintain the health and condition of both your nails and enhancements.
As your nails grow, the enhancement will shift lower naturally which lessens the durability of your nails.
3-4 weeks is the recommended interval between maintenance to properly rebalance the structure of your nails.
Removals are also recommended after 2-3 months of initial application -- this may vary depending on your occupation and/or lifestyle.
Any more than the recommended time may cause breakage, lifting, and issues to your natural nails.
​
​
Most importantly, please do not rip your enhancements off. This will cause harm to your nails as layers of nail tissues may be removed and leave your nails inflamed, prone to infections. This also applies to ripping hangnails off and picking at the surrounding areas.
Please have your enhancements removed properly and/or professionally.
​
Be mindful of moisturizing your hands and applying cuticle oil regularly to maintain strength, durability and flexibility. This will help prevent dehydration, hangnails, and lifting.
