We hope you have already done your New Year’s manicure. Your main task now is to keep it intact throughout the long holidays. We will tell you five life hacks that will help prolong the freshness of your manicure.
Avoid contact with water
This advice is especially important in the first 2-3 hours after a manicure. This time is needed for the gel polish polymerization process to complete.
Wear gloves when cleaning
Be sure to wear gloves when working with household chemicals. This will help protect the gel polish from chemicals and preserve the shine and durability of the coating.
Do not file your nails yourself
The abrasive of the file removes the edge of the gel polish “sealed” by the master. As a result, this may cause the coating to break.
Avoid temperature changes
It is better to postpone the visit to the bathhouse or sauna until later. And in the first two or three days after a manicure, it is better to avoid such establishments, as the artificial material completes the polymerization process.
Moisturize your cuticle
Use vitamin oils and nourishing creams to keep your hand skin and cuticles moist.
