Tips, Advice, and Care for Natural & Press-on Nails
Tips for Optimal and Lasting Application
1. Natural Nail Preparation:
- Strictly follow the application protocol available [here](Venuza Nails application protocol).
- Thorough preparation ensures perfect adhesion and prolonged wear.
2. Protection Against Water and Chemicals:
- Limit your hands' exposure to hot water; prefer lukewarm water for washing and showering.
- After showering, press your nails 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. Wear gloves when handling chemicals.
- Do Not Rub Them Excessively.
Avoid repetitive rubbing and impact on your nails, as this could affect the glue and damage the surface of the press-on nails. Do not do as in some (fake nail) advertisements that intentionally cause impacts; this is just misleading marketing.
3. Post-Application Care:
- Avoid applying cuticle oils or moisturizing creams to your nails within 3 hours of application. This could affect glue adhesion.
How to Remove Your False Nails Applied with Liquid Glue.
Classic Method:
How to Remove Your Press-On Nails Without Damaging Your Natural Nails?
Even though press-on nails are easy to apply, their removal must be done with caution. Here's how to proceed:
Soak Your Nails in Hot Water
Hot water will help soften the glue. Soak your hands in lukewarm water for 10 to 15 minutes.
Gently Use a Cuticle Pusher
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 glue residue remains on your natural nails, you can gently remove it with a nail buffer.
If residue remains on your nail tips, use a sanding bit and gently scrape it off; you should be able to remove it in a few seconds. Never use nail polish remover directly on your fake nails, as you risk diluting/erasing all the nail art.
Gentle Alternative - Applying Your Nails with Gel-Pads:
- Use Gel Pads (double-sided adhesive) for temporary application. Less aggressive, they provide effective adhesion for up to 4 days, without compromising the health of your natural nails.
- They are for single use and are very easy to remove by gently lifting your nail tips (sometimes tricky because they stick very well), then remove the used gel pad by rubbing it with your finger.
- Your natural nails remain intact.
After Removal, Care for Your Natural Nails
- Hydrate and nourish your natural nails with suitable treatments to preserve their health and shine.
- Rich oils or creams are ideal; prefer overnight 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 night.
- Much more effective than during the day.
Remember to take breaks:
- Nails are not entirely dead; they grow, breathe, absorb.
- Let them rest once in a while.
- Avoid wearing false nails permanently.
- Do nourishing treatments to maintain their beauty, especially if you prefer using liquid glues.
By following these tips, you will extend the lifespan of your false nails while caring for your natural nails. Opt for extra strong liquid glue or Gel Pads depending on your needs and enjoy an elegant and long-lasting manicure with peace of mind!
