Maintenance Tips
To ensure the longevity of your UV Gel nails and maintain their pristine appearance:
Moisturize Regularly: Keep your hands and cuticles hydrated by applying cuticle oil daily to prevent dryness and maintain nail health.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Protect your nails from strong detergents and cleaning agents by wearing gloves when handling such substances.
Be Gentle: Use your fingers instead of your nails to perform everyday tasks such as opening cans or packaging to avoid unnecessary stress on the nails.
Schedule Regular Appointments: To maintain the best look, book regular touch-up sessions every 2-3 weeks to refill and reapply the gel as your nails grow.
Handle With Care: Limit prolonged exposure to water, which can weaken the gel, and make sure to dry your hands thoroughly after washing.
