Tips, Advice and Care for Natural Nails / Press-on Nails
Tips for an Optimal and Long-Lasting Installation
1. Preparation of Natural Nails:
- Strictly follow the application protocol available [here] (Venuza Nails application protocol).
- Careful preparation guarantees perfect adhesion and long-lasting hold.
2. Protection Against Water and Chemicals:
- Limit your hands' exposure to hot water; use lukewarm water for washing and showering.
- After showering, press your nails together and run cold water over them to strengthen their hold.
- Avoid Chemicals
-
Harsh household products, such as detergents and ammonia-based cleaners, can damage the glue and alter the color of your press-on nails. Use gloves when handling chemicals.
- Do not rub them excessively.
Avoid repeated rubbing and impact on your nails, as this can damage the glue and the surface of the press-on nails. Don't do what some (false nail) advertisements claim, which intentionally cause impact; this is just misleading marketing.
3. Post-Installation Care:
- Avoid applying cuticle oils or moisturizers to your nails within 3 hours of application . This may affect the adhesion of the glue.
How to Remove False Nails Applied with Liquid Glue.
Classic Method:
How to Remove Your Press-On Nails Without Damaging Your Natural Nails?
Although press-on nails are easy to apply, they must be removed with caution. Here's how to do it:
Soak your nails in warm water
Warm water will help soften the glue. Soak your hands in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes.
Use a Cuticle Pusher Gently
After softening the glue, use a cuticle pusher to gently lift the press-on nails. Do this gently to avoid damaging your natural nails.
Remove Glue Residue
If there is any glue residue left on your natural nails, you can gently remove it with a buffer.
If there's any residue left on your tips, use a sanding tool and gently scrape it off; it should be gone in seconds. Never use nail polish remover directly on your false nails, as you risk diluting/erasing all of your nail art.
Gentle Alternative - Sticking your nails to Gel-Pads:
- Use Gel Pads (double-sided stickers) for temporary application. Less aggressive, they provide effective hold for up to 4 days without compromising the health of your natural nails.
- They are single-use and are very easy to remove by gently lifting your capsules (sometimes tedious because they stick really well), then remove the used gel pad by rubbing with your finger.
- Your natural nails remain intact.
After Removal Care for Your Natural Nails
- Moisturize and nourish your natural nails with suitable care to preserve their health and shine.
- Rich oils or creams are ideal, prefer night masks!
- Although it is also advisable to do it as often as possible during the day, applying a treatment at night allows your skin and nails to benefit from the treatment throughout the day.
- Much more effective than during the day.
Remember to take breaks:
- The nails are not completely dead, they grow, breathe, absorb.
- Let them rest once in a while.
- Avoid wearing false nails all the time.
- Use nourishing treatments to maintain their beauty, especially if you favor the use of liquid glues.
By following these tips, you'll extend the life of your false nails while taking care of your natural nails. Choose extra-strong liquid glue or gel pads depending on your needs and enjoy a stylish, long-lasting manicure with complete peace of mind!
