5 Tips for Long-Lasting Gel Nails

1. Wear Gloves When Cleaning


Cleaning products and hot water are the biggest enemies of gel nails. Always wear rubber gloves during housework to avoid contact with harsh chemicals.


2. Moisturize Your Cuticles Regularly


Use cuticle oil daily to keep the skin around your nails supple. Dry cuticles can cause gel to lift faster.


3. Don't Use Nails as Tools


Avoid using your nails to open cans, scratch surfaces, or similar activities. This can cause chipping and breakage.


4. Keep Regular Refill Appointments


Visit us every 2–3 weeks for a refill. This prevents unsightly gaps at the nail base and keeps your nails in top shape.


5. Don't Forget Sun Protection


UV radiation can alter gel nail colors. Apply sunscreen to your hands during intense sun exposure.
