Wear gloves for housework, gardening, applying tan lotion, hair dye, chemicals etc.
Do not file the surface or edges of the nail enhancement. Top coat protects the nail.
Do not bite, pick, or lift the nails. This can cause damage & trauma to natural nail.
Use non-acetone polish remover to clean nail if necessary, particularly matte nails.
If and when you decide to remove your nails, do not attempt to take them off yourself. Come in and have them professionally removed to avoid damage.
Recommend every 2–3 weeks an infill / maintenance. This is important to the appearance of your nails and the health of your natural nails, to check for any lifting, repair any damage and to minimise the risk of fungal or bacterial infections.
Daily application of cuticle oil and hand moisturiser will keep your nails flexible and hydrated and help prevent lifting, cracks and breaks.
Avoid using your nails as tools and treat them with care.
