Maintaining healthy nails while using our wraps involves avoiding certain products or ingredients that may compromise the adhesive or overall health of your nails. Here are some guidelines:
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of harsh chemicals such as acetone-based nail polish removers, strong solvents, and aggressive cleaning agents. These can weaken the adhesive of the wraps and may lead to premature lifting.
- Limit Exposure to Water and Moisture: While our wraps are designed to be water-resistant, excessive exposure to water and moisture for prolonged periods can weaken the adhesive. Avoid prolonged soaking in water, especially hot water, as it can contribute to lifting.
- Be Cautious with Oily Substances: Oily substances, including heavy moisturizers and oily hand creams, can create a barrier between the wraps and your natural nails, affecting adhesion. Apply such products sparingly and avoid direct contact with the wraps.
- Avoid Products Containing Formaldehyde: Formaldehyde is a common ingredient in some nail care products. While our wraps are formulated without formaldehyde, it's advisable to avoid products containing this substance to maintain overall nail health.
- Skip Fast-Drying Top Coats: Fast-drying top coats often contain chemicals that can react with the nail wrap material and may cause cracking or distortion. Use regular, non-fast-drying top coats for a smoother and more durable finish.
- Minimize Use of Acrylic or Gel Products: While our wraps are compatible with most nail products, excessive use of acrylics or gels may affect the performance of the wraps. If using these products, ensure they are fully cured and properly applied before applying the wraps.
- Avoid Rough Handling: Avoid activities that involve rough handling of your nails, such as excessive tapping, scratching, or forcefully peeling off the wraps. These actions can damage both the wraps and your natural nails.
- Check Ingredients in Additional Nail Products: When using additional nail care products alongside our wraps, check the ingredients to ensure they are compatible. Certain ingredients in base coats, top coats, or treatments may interact with the wraps.
By being mindful of these recommendations, you can promote the longevity of your nail wraps and maintain the health of your natural nails.
