A Gel Manicure is a tough, protective coating that will add strength and an unbeatable high shine to beautify your natural nails. Gel II™ and Shellac are hard wearing but not indestructible when performing our daily chores.
Below are a few guidelines, but together we must work as a partnership and ensure the following so you can flash and flaunt perfect wear for up to 3 weeks!
**PLEASE NOTE**
Incorrect removal of your Gel Manicure will lead to irreversible damage on the surface of your nails. Please contact your me if you wish have your Gel Manicure removed safely with care using professional strength product remover for a quick and safe removal.
* Prolonged soaking in water can cause natural nail weakness.
* Certain chemical ingredients in hand lotions such as lanolin can cause breakdown of your Gel II™ Manicure.
You may notice a high level of wear and tear if these guidelines are not met.
Enjoy Your Manicure!
Below are a few guidelines, but together we must work as a partnership and ensure the following so you can flash and flaunt perfect wear for up to 3 weeks!
- Protect your skin and nails from harsh household chemicals such as bleach and washing up liquid from striping your skin and nails of its vital moisture. Discolouration may be possible. Rubber gloves are all you need to stay protected.
- Be sure to apply your cuticle oil twice daily to promote healthy skin and nails. Its daily use will prolong the life of your gel manicure while maintaining high hydration levels in the nail plate thus preventing natural nail peeling and breakages. Cuticle Oil will also help to prevent skin sores in/or around the cuticle area.
- Hobbies that are very hands on and require you to get ‘’down and dirty’’ such as gardening could well affect the longevity of your gel manicure. Keep them protected with protective rubber gloves.
- When applying sunscreen lotion or insect repellents be sure to wash your hands immediately after application as they are known to cause possible breakdown of gel polish. Note: Applying a small amount of cuticle oil to your nails to act as a barrier beforehand is good practice.
- Chlorinated water followed by sun exposure may cause discolouration of your gel manicure. Chlorine is a bleach and the sun intensifies the bleaching action. Be sure to dry your hands immediately to prevent this from happening. Note: Applying a small amount of cuticle oil to your nails to act as a barrier beforehand is good practice.
- If you wish to apply nail varnish over your gel manicure you may do so. When removing your nail varnish it is recommended you use an acetone free nail varnish remover.
- If you happen to notice a slight chip or nick in your gel manicure or nail DO NOT pick, peel or lift it as it will cause damage to your nails. Please contact me as soon as possible. A nail file can be bought to remove a slight nick or to prevent the loss of your natural nail length.
