Feeling awesome about your freshly done gel nails? Make the attention last longer with a little effort and care for your gel manicure. The first 24 hours after a gel treatment are crucial. You must be careful not to expose your nails to water, heat and chemicals during this time. Here is how to look after your freshly done gel nails.

Keep Away from Water

Water and especially hot water can weaken the gel nails and cause them to lift. The bonding process takes time to dry. Avoid swimming, bath tubs and try to keep your hands and nails dry immediately after the gel treatment.

Apply Cuticle Oil Every Day

Cuticle oil can give your cuticles the nutrition they deserve. Apply cuticle oil to the nail beds and the surrounding areas for moisturisation. Cuticle oil helps with the growth of healthy nails. Make cuticle oil massage a daily habit.

Wear Gloves

Gardening, cleaning, washing and household chores can wreak havoc on your manicured nails. When you cannot avoid such work, wear gloves to protect your hands and nails.

Your Nails are not Tools

You must avoid using your nails to open lids, pull rings or tap on the keyboard when you type on your laptop or phone. Do not use your nails as tools. Chipped and broken nails are harder to restore. Contact your salon expert immediately if you happen to get your nails chipped.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals and Solvents

Solvents can dissolve your manicure. From beauty products to cleaners and detergents, you will find harsh chemicals everywhere at home or the workplace. If you want to retain the beauty of your gel nails, you must be extra careful not to expose your manicure to harsh chemicals and solvents.

Do Not Cut or File Your Nails on Your Own

Metal nail files can damage your gel nails. Do not try cutting your nails on your own. Contact your gel nails salon in Newcastle for any nail treatment. Follow all aftercare advice stringently.
