Give the finish time to settle
Be gentle with your hands and feet immediately after the appointment. Avoid unnecessary pressure, tight footwear or tasks that can mark a fresh finish.
Moisturise consistently
Use hand cream and foot cream regularly, focusing on dry areas. Cuticle oil can help keep the nail area looking cared for between appointments.
Protect your hands during chores
Wear gloves for cleaning and prolonged contact with water. Household products and repeated soaking can shorten the life of a manicure.
Maintain, do not pick
Use a nail file gently if an edge catches. Picking at polish or damaged areas can worsen the finish and may affect the natural nail underneath.
