NAILS ARE JEWELS NOT TOOLS

• If there is a small chip in your nail, file it straight away. This will avoid peeling and tearing of your nails.

​

• Make a point to wear gloves, especially while in water or scrubbing.

​

• Keep your nails away from moisture as they can turn into breeding grounds for infections and can make your gel polish lift.

​

• If your nails flex (usually due to soaking in water) this could cause cracking of your gel polish.

​

• Use the sides of your fingers (NOT your nails) to pick small items up such as coins!

​

• Invest in a good cuticle oil, this will keep the nails from drying and becoming brittle.

​

• When flushing a toilet or pressing down on a button – Use your knuckle of your finger rather then risking your nail being caught and bending backwards.

​

• When it comes to removing your extensions or gel polish, unless you are absolutely sure of yourself, get a professional to remove them for you.

​

• When thinking about extensions think about your lifestyle, extensions require regular maintenance.

​

• If your lifestyle and/or profession won’t allow, don’t invest in extensions.

​

• Keep your extensions 2-4 mm long for the most natural look and to avoid lifting at the back of your extension.

​

• As your real nails grow there will appear a gap behind your extension. You are due to have them back filled usually fortnightly.

​

• Extensions are rather delicate. Subjecting them to the harshness of opening soda cans, bottles etc could result in them breaking. You should use a knife or key to open it to avoid breaking or bending your nail backward. Ouch!
