Gel nails are beloved for their durability and shine, but how can you make them last even longer? At BLR Nail Club, our technicians share their professional secrets for extending your gel manicure.
Pre-Application Tips
1. Proper Nail Preparation: Clean, dry nails are essential. Avoid applying lotion to your hands before your appointment as oils can prevent proper adhesion.
2. Cuticle Care: Well-maintained cuticles help the gel bond better to your natural nail.
During Your Appointment
3. Thin Layers: Multiple thin layers cure better and last longer than thick coats.
4. Cap the Free Edge: This seals the nail tip and prevents lifting and chipping.
Aftercare Tips
5. Wear Gloves: Protect your nails when doing dishes or cleaning with harsh chemicals.
6. Moisturize Daily: Keep your cuticles and nails hydrated with cuticle oil.
7. Avoid Hot Water: Prolonged exposure to hot water can weaken the gel bond.
8. Don't Pick or Peel: If you notice lifting, visit BLR Nail Club for a professional fix.
When to Get a Fill or New Set
We recommend getting a fill every 2-3 weeks to maintain the beauty and health of your gel nails. Visit any of our locations for expert care.
