After your treatment
How to make your manicure last longer
No hot water and no sauna for the first 24 hours — the coating is still curing. Wear gloves when you use cleaning products, don’t use your nails as tools, and file down a sharp edge straight away so it doesn’t catch on things.
Shine
Why the shine fades and what helps
Shine wears off with washing-up liquid, acetone and dry air. Cuticle oil once a day and hand cream after washing your hands keep the coating supple; a top coat after two weeks brings the shine back.
Cuticles
Keeping cuticles tidy at home when they grow fast
Don’t cut anything away. Cuticle oil once a day and a gentle push back with a wooden stick after your shower is enough. If they grow fast, come every three weeks instead of every four.
