If you are thinking about getting any kind of nail enhancement,
here are some things for you to think about, as well as some
ideas for you on how to maintain them.
Choosing a Nail Shape
One of the things to consider is the shape of the free edge. When choosing a nail shape, you should pick one that enhances the shape of your finger. Take a moment to study your hand, analyzing the finger length and thickness, hand size, and cuticle shape. Keep in mind these suggestions:
Petite hands and fingers look best with almond-shaped nails.
Short and stocky fingers look best with squoval-shaped nails.
Heavyset hands look best with squared-off ends. This is
also true for fingers with wide nail beds (the main body of
the nail that defines its shape).
A rule of thumb is to match the shape of the free edge to that of the cuticle (the protective layer of skin at the bottom of the nail). If the cuticle is oval, go with that shape; if square, make the nail more squoval.
**Ultimately, the nail shape is your choice. |

Maintenance of Enhancements
Keep solar oil on your nails daily, as this will keep them from
drying out and separating from the enhancement.
Treat your nails as jewels, not tools!
Nails that are too long for your lifestyle and activity level
result in service breakdown. If your nails become too long between
appointments, shorten the length with a 240-grit file like the Kanga
or Koala.
To prevent the spread of communicable or infectious disease, never
share your files or implements with others, whether at home or in
the salon.
Wear gloves when performing household chores, working in the garden,
or whenever you use cleaning solutions of any kind.
Make and keep biweekly rebalance appointments. Most enhancements
will need to be rebalanced every two weeks. This appointment is
where the free edge length can be taken down and the area at the
back of the nail where the enhancement that has grown out is filled
in with product.
Enhancement Removal
Should you decide to remove your enhancements, please refrain from
picking or tearing them off, as this can damage your natural nail
plate. Professional removal is strongly recommended. If you
would like to remove your nail enhancements on your own, please ask
for suggestions on the procedure that would be the least damaging
to your natural nail.
