Protect your fresh manicure

A beautiful manicure lasts best when it is supported by a little everyday care. These habits can help protect your nail set between appointments.

1. Wear gloves for household work

Use gloves when washing dishes, cleaning or working with chemicals.

2. Use cuticle oil daily

Apply a small amount of cuticle oil around each nail every day.

3. Do not use your nails as tools

Avoid using your nails to open cans, scrape labels or lift hard objects.

4. Choose a practical length

A length that suits your routine is easier to maintain.

5. Avoid picking or peeling

Contact your technician if a nail needs professional attention.

6. Book maintenance on time

Regular fills and rebalances help maintain strength as your nails grow.

7. Report damage early

Arrange a nail fix if a nail cracks or lifts instead of waiting for the damage to worsen.
