We want you to be happy with your new nails, but to ensure that they stay looking their best and are long-lasting, please follow these simple steps on nail enhancement aftercare.
•Allow yourself a few days to become accustomed to your new nails. You may
find it difficult doing up buttons, opening car doors, picking up coins from the floor
etc for the first few daysbut eventually you will get into the habit of using your
hands in a different way and your nails will start feeling more natural.
•Have regular maintenance services. They are required every 2-3 weeks, depending on
the nail growth. These services will return your nails to the pristine condition they were in,
looking healthy and beautiful. Leaving more than the recommended time will result in breakages
and lifting of the nail enhancements which may cause problems to the natural nails.
•Repetitive or severe pressure on the nail enhancements will lead to cracks that result in full
blown breaks. Treat your nails as JEWELS NOT TOOLS.
•Do not bite, pick or file your enhancements. This can cause them to lift, become weak and
break, and possibly cause damage and thinning to your natural nails.
•If the nail enhancements appear to be lifting from the nail plate, contact me and make
arrangements for a revisit as soon as possible to prevent bacterial infections. Do not be
tempted to pull off the lifted part as this will cause nail distress and weaken your
natural nail.
•Do not be tempted to do any home repairs. If a nail tip breaks, do not try to glue
it on again as you might trap air between the tip and the natural nail which can
lead to bacterial infections. Also, never glue down lifted product. Without proper
sanitation, moisture can become trapped and provide the perfect breeding ground
for bacteria.
•Allergic reactions to ingredients in some nail products are rare. However, they can
occur to a small number of people who are highly sensitive to certain chemicals.
Symptoms of an allergic reaction include irritation around the eyes and mouth, and redness,
itching and swelling of the skin around the nail. If you develop any of these symptoms, call me
immediately and consult your doctor.
•Sun tan creams, tinted lotions and coloured hair products can all dis-colour your nail
enhancements. To protect your nails from becoming dis-coloured, wash your hands thoroughly
or wear gloves.
•Always wear rubber gloves when performing normal household tasks such as washing up,
using cleaning products especially bleach, and gardening as the chemicals found in these
cleaning and gardening products can affect your nail enhancements and may result being
harmful to your natural nails and also to the skin of your hands.
•If removing nail polish, always use an Acetone Free nail polish remover. Acetone
causes nail enhancements to weaken.
•Do not push back the cuticles as this will enhance the gap between the natural
nails and the nail enhancements and maintenance will be required more frequently.
•Apply and massage cuticle oil to the cuticle areas daily before bed to maintain the
enhancements flexibility and durability, strengthen the natural nails, and to keep the
cuticles soft. Also it keeps the natural nails from getting dehydrated thus preventing the
natural nails curling away from the enhancements.
•Invest in a good hand cream to keep the skin of your hands looking young, and feeling soft and
smooth.
•MOST IMPORTANT, do not try to remove the nail enhancements yourself
