Gel polish bonds to the top layer of the nail, which is why it lasts so long. Peeling it lifts that layer too, leaving nails thin, bendy and prone to splitting for weeks.
A few habits keep gel glossy for its full life, and a proper soak-off keeps the nail underneath healthy.
If a corner lifts, file it smooth and book a removal. Please do not pick.
- Apply cuticle oil every evening
- Wear gloves for dishes and cleaning
- Do not use your nails as tools
- File any snag gently in one direction
- Book removal at three weeks
- Take a short break if nails feel thin
Removal is quick and gentle at the salon, and it is included when you book your next set. See manicures & pedicures for what the appointment includes.
