How to make sure my nail extensions last longer?
Congrats on your fabulous nail extensions! But remember, without proper care, they can chip or pop off at the worst moments. So, how do you keep those stunning nails flawless for weeks? Let’s explore some tips.

1. Take Care of your nail extensions
Treat your nail extensions with care, as they are delicate and require a bit of special attention. Avoid using them for tasks like opening cans, peeling stickers, or removing labels. Remember, your nails are beautiful accessories, not tools.
2. Choose the right length and shape
When selecting the length and shape for your nail extensions, consider your lifestyle. If you are new to extensions, start with a moderate length and shape, such as almond or square. For an active lifestyle, shorter extensions are recommended as they last longer.
3. Hydrate like its Mumbai weather
Just like your skin, your nails need proper hydration to remain strong and healthy. Incorporate cuticle oil into your daily routine; it’s a fantastic way to take care of your nails. Applying a drop or two daily can keep your nails and surrounding skin moisturised, giving your manicure that glossy, salon-fresh appearance.
4. Gloves are your best friends
Consider wearing gloves when tackling chores like doing the dishes, gardening, or any tasks involving dirt. Avoid washing your hands too much, as it can weaken nail glue and cause your extensions to loosen more quickly.

Remember, neglecting refills can lead to lifting or breakage, and no one wants to deal with grown-out extensions, so it’s best to stay on top of this!
