The Real Deal on Gel Nails
Saturday 20th August 2016
With everyone leading such busy lives, gel nails are the ultimate saviour.
Up to 3 weeks chip free shine, instantly dry and no colour fade gel nails are taking the nail industry by storm.
Here are our top tips on maintaining nail health underneath your gel manicure or pedicure.
- 1. Apply cuticle oil daily. This will not only keep your cuticles from drying out, but it will nourish your nails too. We love Phenomen Oil from Jessica. It contains vitamin E, Jojoba oil and sweet almond oil to give your nails an extra boost of hydration.
- 2. Wear gloves when cleaning and washing up! You would be amazed at how many people never wear gloves when using harsh cleaning products. These products can leave your hands and nails feeling dry and damaged and can cause gel nails to lift....so ladies cover up!
- 3. Don't pick! When the nails start to show regrowth it can be very tempting to sit and pick away...DON'T!
Always remove your gel nails safely with a professional removal solution soaked onto cotton wool wrapped in tin foil. This allows for the nails to lift off gently to avoid any damage to the nail plate underneath.
If you follow these golden rules above your gel nails will last longer and your nail health will be improved.
