What makes gel polishes so great?
It’s a quick and easy treatment that’ll last two to three times longer than ordinary nail polish. It can also be used over acrylic nail enhancements for colour change, or just adding a funky colour to your nail enhancements.
Does it chip?
If done correctly, it should grow out, not chip off. If chips do occur it may be because the therapist applied the colour too thickly. Or, it may occur if you work with chemicals a lot, or need to move heavy boxes in your day to day life.
How can I take care of my nails that my gel nails last longer?
Use your nails as jewels and not as tools! Avoid opening cans with your nails and pamper your cuticles with an oil every evening. TRY NSI Nurture Oil (R85).
