Just thought I'd post this for you guys to read. I am raising my prices slightly, so I typed up a new price sheet (which includes gel services, which I am now offering). While I was add it, I typed up an aftercare sheet. I don't have anyone around me that could be my editor and I had difficulty wording some things. If you've got the time, please give it a read and let me know if anything sounds off or wrong or I missed something. Thanks in advance.

Nail Info and Aftercare
- Acrylic (liquid and powder, UV gel or wraps) takes 24-48 hours to fully cure, so after a full set of enhancements, be careful not to tap your new nails on hard surfaces. You may create invisible hairline fractures that could turn into problems down the road.
- Fills are recommended very 2-3 weeks. Backfills (or French rebalances) are recommended every 4-6 weeks. Going longer between maintenance causes lifting and breakages.
- If you experience severe lifting (more than 25% of the nail) between fills, be sure to put alcohol under the lift every night until you can get in to have it repaired. This will prevent bacterial infections (caused by moisture and bacteria trapped between the enhancement and your natural nail) from forming. No gluing!
- Solar Oil should be applied daily (or as often as you want) to the entire nail surface and under the free edge to keep your cuticles and enhancements moisturized and flexible. It even penetrates through the enhancement to nourish your natural nail underneath. The daily use of Solar Oil prevents common problems such as lifting, cracking and separation of the natural nail at the free edge. You can also use Solar Oil anywhere that is dry, including heels and elbows.
- Gloves are necessary when using harsh chemicals, gardening or doing dishes.
- If removing polish at home, be sure to use non-acetone polish remover. Acetone will soften (and ultimately dissolve) your enhancements. Also make sure your top and base coats contain no strengtheners or formaldehyde, they will plasticize the acrylic, causing yellowing and lifting.
- Enhancements can be fragile while cold, so during winter months be careful with your nails while outside and until they are back to room temperature.
- Above all else, remember: Your enhancements are jewels not tools, treat them kindly.
- Natural nail manicures are recommended every 2 - 3 weeks.
- When maintaining nails at home, a good nail strengthener and Solar Oil is essential. Apply two coats of strengthener, allow to dry and apply Solar Oil. Reapply oil daily and strengthener 2-3 times per week.
- Remove all layers of strengthener after 7 days to prevent weakening of the top layers of the natural nail plate due to break down of the ingredients in the strengthener.
- Apply top coat or strengthener over polish every 4-5 days to extend the life of your manicure.
- Clip carefully and lightly buff natural nails (rather than roughly file) to blunt the free edge, making it stronger and preventing cracking and splitting.
- Pedicures are recommended every 4-8 weeks.
- Use a rich lotion and/or oil daily to prevent dryness, rough skin build up and cracking.
- If excessive skin is an issue, the use of a cuticle remover once weekly is recommended. Apply liberally and allow to remain for 10 minutes. Scrub rough spots with a pumice stone or foot file and do not forget to rinse thoroughly with water to stop the action of the remover (very important!)
- Razor shaving 24 hours prior to a pedicure service is discouraged, due to risk of irritation, inflammation or even infection.
