Care between visits

Nail aftercare.

A little care between appointments keeps your set strong and beautifully finished. Here's how to get the most from your nails.

  1. 01

    Use non-acetone nail polish remover only, as acetone can weaken both natural nails and enhancements.

  2. 02

    Please don't pick or lift the nails as they grow out from the cuticle — it damages the natural nail underneath.

  3. 03

    Do not use your nails as tools. Everyday tasks such as opening cans or scraping surfaces can compromise your nail set.

  4. 04

    Regular maintenance is essential. We recommend booking your infill appointments every 2–3 weeks to keep your nails looking their best.

  5. 05

    Do not attempt to remove your nail extensions at home. Professional removal at the salon helps protect the health of your natural nails.

  6. 06

    Wear protective gloves when carrying out housework, gardening or DIY to prevent unnecessary stress or breakage.

  7. 07

    Take care around extreme heat or naked flames, as excessive heat may affect your nail enhancements.

  8. 08

    If you experience any adverse reaction, such as redness or swelling around the cuticle area, please seek medical advice from your GP.
