Bride Style :: Gel Nails

Your hands will the focus of many wedding day photos – are you looking for a professional look to your wedding day nails? If you haven’t had artificial nails before, then try gel nails first. It is far less damaging than the other types and they look real. So if your thinking about having a nice set of nails for your wedding day ..let me help by giving you a little bit of information about it!

Gel nails are an extremely natural-looking enhancement: thin, clear, flexible,light weight, odorless, non-yellowing, and nonporous!

For best results, get your first full set of gel nails done about two months before your wedding day – because I do sculptured gel nails which are built onto the nail form as an extension, they always look a bit different your for your first set because the natural nail is much shorter then it would be after a couple of gel fills. My main goal is to grow out your natural nail so that we don’t need to use any nail forms for extending – it would be much more natural, thin and sharp looking!

Here is some help for keeping your nails in fabulous shape at home:

• Let your nail tech do her job. If you break a nail or if a nail begins to lift, schedule a repair appointment. Do not take down the length of your enhancements as this will throw off the balance of the nail and may make the nail look bulky.
• Treat your nails like jewels. Protect your investment by wearing gloves when gardening or exposing hands to water for extended periods of time. Do not put upward pressure on your nail tips, use a can opener to pop tops. Do not use your nails like a tool.
• Add some extras. Cuticle oil is a daily necessity as it keeps cuticles supple and the product moisturized and flexible. I may suggest you use it every day when you can.
• Listen to your nail tech. Can’t decide what length and type of enhancement you’d like? Your nail technician will be more than happy to make a suggestion. For example, if you’re hard on your nails because you work on a computer or do heavy work, shorter nails may be your best option.
• Don’t take them off. If you decide you no longer want to wear nail enhancements, do not take them off yourself. Picking and pulling the nails off will damage your natural nail, rip layers from your nail plate, and make regrowth a long, painful process. I can safely and painlessly help you remove your nail enhancements.
