Increase the Lifespan of Your Gel Bottle Nails with Our Expert Tips.

1. Nail Maintenance:

• Avoid using your nails as tools for opening or prying objects.
• Avoid long periods of time in water (e.g. long baths, swimming, washing up).
• Wear protective gloves when engaging in household chores or activities that may expose your nails to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
• Do not use your nails as tools (e.g. screwdriver) as this could lead to cracking.
• Never pick or peel the product off as this could damage your natural nail.
• Always wash your hands thoroughly after being in contact with chlorine, insect repellent or sunscreen
• Avoid filing your nails and pushing your cuticles back, as this will break the seal of the gel and can lead to chipping.

2. Nail Hygiene:

• Keep your nails clean and dry to prevent the growth of bacteria or fungus.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after using public facilities or touching potentially contaminated surfaces.

3. Cuticle Care:

• Use cuticle oil daily to keep your nails nourished, to stimulate growth and prevent lifting.

4. Nail Health:

• Be especially careful in the first 24 hours after application and avoid intense heat during this period (e.g. saunas, hot bath, or sunbeds).
• If you notice any abnormalities, such as discoloration, pain, or nail damage, please contact Bare Nails or seek advice from a healthcare professional.
• Never pick or peel the product off as this could damage your natural nail.

6. Follow-up Appointments:

• Maintain regular follow-up appointments as advised by your nail technician to keep your nails in optimal condition.
