GEL NAILS

After every layer of gel polish the hands/feet are placed under a LED light for 60 seconds. These manicures are gentle to the natural nail and the polish stays intact on the nail for at least two weeks with high shine and no cracking, peeling or chipping.Gel polish nails mean nails are dry immediately upon completion of the service so no need to worry about smudging or ruining your nails. 

Gel polish will not damage the nails if taken of professionally with acetone. Acetone will remove oils from the nail, but the nail plate itself is not damaged by the acetone. 

​

Aftercare:

• In the first 24 hours after application, you should be especially careful with your nails

• Use cuticle oil daily. Using cuticle oil gives your nails the nutrients they need to stay strong and healthy

• Never use your nails as tools instead use the pads of your fingers. (e.g. when typing)

• Don’t pick the product off – this will cause damage to the nail

• Always use rubber gloves when doing household chores and gardening
  Avoid using harsh chemicals without wearing gloves.  Dye from your jeans or your newly coloured hair can stain your gel polish

• Chlorine may cause lifting of Gel Polish. For best results, please wait 24 hours after application before you go swimming

• Certain products such as sunscreen, tanning lotion, insect repellents and oil based products can cause the gel polish to lift.  When using these products, try to avoid getting the product on your nails and wash your hands thoroughly afterwards

• Never use metal nail files, these are too harsh and may cause damage to your manicure
