First 0-8 Hours:

Avoid soaking in water, which may soften your natural nails and cause polish, gel or extensions to chip, peel or lift. Do not pick or peel your nails. Once stabilized, they will regain normal hardness.

Daily Care:

Wear gloves for household chores. Avoid prolonged exposure to oils, acids, and alkaline solvents to prevent lifting or peeling.

Manicure Lifespan:

Regular Polish: 3–5 days

Long-lasting Polish: 5–10 days

Color Gel & Powder Gel: 5-14 days

Gel-X & UV Gel: 18 days

Replace or remove your manicure within these suggested timeframes. As nails grow, pressure points shift, weakening the structural strength. Improper force or impact may cause lifting or breakage, allowing air and moisture to seep in. This creates an ideal breeding ground for Pseudomonas bacteria (green nails), fungal infections, and other microbes that may lead to nail and skin issues.

Trimming & Removal:

Always remove polish before trimming nails. Cutting directly may cause micro-cracks, leading to bacterial growth and lifting.

Repairs & Maintenance:

If lifting or peeling occurs, visit the salon for professional removal or repair. Do not remove it yourself, as improper removal can thin and weaken your nail bed.
