How does chlorine or sea water affect nails?

[Hannah1984]

I have a few clients wanting acrylic l&p nails done before they go away on their holidays abroad.

Will the extentions last as well if they do lots of swimming? Is there any product I can recommend they apply to help stop the damage if there is any?

Other than the normal drying action that swimming pool water has on the skin and therefore on enhancements ... it doesn't. But if anyone swims allot then it is essential to SolarOil the nails every day before and after swimming to keep the product supple.

Ok thanks, that what I was thinking but just wanted to check.
