Cuticle oil needs to be used every day to maintain healthy, hydrated cuticles and to prevent cuticle build up and hangnails.
You may want to purchase a professional nail file to reshape and shorten your nails at home.
You may apply polish or a clear coat on your gel nails; however, make sure to use non-acetone polish remover to remove it.
Avoid using your nails as tools to prevent breaks, lifting and fixes.
In case of a break or lifting, the nail should be repaired as soon as possible. Moisture and dirt can become trapped between the nail and the gel causing bacteria to grow into a fungal infection or pseudomonas.
Nails DO NOT breathe, Nails don’t have the ability to inhale and exhale air. If this were true you couldn’t cover your nails with anything, not even nail polish. You can have Gel enhancements for as long as you wish, if you decide to take them off the sensation that you feel when the gel is removed is pressure taken away from the nail as gel has been sitting on them not your nails starting to breathe again.
