FAQ’s

Q: Isnt filing back and forth bad for your nails?

A: Filing ‘back and forth’is actually safe for the nail as long as you are using a 240 or higher grit file .

Q: Shouldnt I remove all nail polish/hardeners frequently to allow my nails to breathe?

A: Nails are made of dead keratin-they don’t breathe! This misconception is really used by sales people to increase sales. Everything from a base coat to a nail enhancement will protect the nail from the environment and help them from becoming dehydrated.

Q: Isnt acetone nail polish remover bad for your nails?

A: Acetone based removers are more effective in removing all traces of nail polish whereas non-acetone remover evaporates slower and often leaves a gum finish-it is recommended though to use non-acetone remover to remove polish from nail enhancements.

Q: Doesnt shaping toe nails square prevent ingrown nails?

A: Actually if the nails are too square sharp corners can drive into the skin in tight or pointed shoes. Always trim corners of nails to 45 degree angle and smooth into a rounded shape.

Q: Gel nails ruined my natural nails!

A: They only damage your nails if you apply force to pull the tips/gel nails off (when they have grown out) instead of filing them off carefully! Todays nail enhancements are light, safe and protective. They protect your nail from everyday eventualities. Gel nails grow out with the natural nail and require refilling every 2-4weeks.
