Gel manicures can easily last three weeks or more with the right aftercare.
In the first 2 hours
- ›Avoid hot water and heavy chores — the gel is still fully curing
- ›Apply cuticle oil daily starting the next morning
Ongoing care
- ›Wear gloves for dishwashing and cleaning
- ›Moisturize hands nightly — dry cuticles are the main cause of early lifting
- ›Never peel a lifted edge — book a Gel Removal instead to avoid damaging the nail bed
If you notice consistent chipping within a week, let us know at your next visit — we adjust
your prep routine on file.
