How to take care of your press-on nails.

Did you know that it is important to maintain them properly to preserve the health of your natural nails?

Here are some simple tips to follow:

1. Avoid prolonged baths in hot water. This can weaken your false nails and make them more likely to peel. Instead, take short, lukewarm showers.

2. Strictly follow the application protocol. Follow the instructions provided by the BLOG . Correct application is essential for long-lasting and healthy wear of your false nails.

3. Take the time to clean and disinfect your nails regularly. Remove your press-ons every 15 to 25 days (depending on the glue used) to clean and disinfect your natural nails and your decorated tips. Use disinfectant wipes or a mild antiseptic solution.

4. Peel off your press-on nails gently. If you use liquid glue, your false nails will peel off naturally after 2 to 3 weeks. Never tear them off forcibly, as this could damage your natural nails.

5. In case of accidental detachment. If one of your false nails comes off due to an impact, immediately clean your natural nail with acetone-free nail polish remover (never on the tips). Lightly file the nail and the tip to remove any glue residue, taking care not to damage your nail art.

6. Use a soft sander or file. To remove more stubborn glue residue, use an electric sander with a soft attachment or a suitable file. Then disinfect your nails and reapply your artificial nails if desired.

7. Maintain the health of your natural nails. Following these tips will help prevent bacteria and fungus from growing under your nails, which is often caused by moisture. Remember, even a small amount of standing water can become a breeding ground for germs.

8. Adopt a regular hygiene routine. Periodic removal and cleaning of your artificial nails, combined with proper disinfection, are essential for the health of your natural nails.
