After-Care Rituals

A considered finish, preserved with care

Each Simankacure treatment is performed with precision and intention. To prolong its graceful finish and maintain the health of your natural nails, I invite you to follow the care practices below.

Rituals to Embrace

Within the First 24 Hours

Avoid exposure to heat and moisture. Refrain from saunas, hot baths, steam, or intense physical activity. This allows the gel to fully cure, ensuring durability and lasting shine.

Daily Nourishment

Apply cuticle oil morning and evening. This softens the surrounding skin, promotes healthy growth, and helps prevent lifting by keeping the nail bed hydrated and flexible.

Protective Habits

Wear gloves when washing dishes, cleaning, or handling chemicals. These habits preserve the integrity of the polish and protect your skin.

After Contact with Chlorine or Sunscreen

Gently wash your hands after exposure to chlorine, sunscreen, or insect repellent. These products can affect the finish or adhesion of the gel.

Regular Maintenance

Book professional removal or maintenance sessions. Safe removal protects the natural nail and maintains its strength and clarity over time.

Personal Guidance

If you have questions or specific concerns, I will always provide personalised care advice. Each recommendation is made with your comfort and nail health in mind.

Habits to Avoid

Prolonged Soaking

Extended exposure to water — particularly hot baths or swimming — may soften the gel and reduce its longevity.

Using Nails as Tools

Avoid using your nails to open packaging, peel labels, or pry objects. This can strain the natural nail and risk chipping or cracking.

Peeling Off Gel

Do not remove gel polish yourself. Peeling damages the upper layers of the natural nail and compromises its health.

Rough Filing or Cuticle Pressure

Avoid over-filing or aggressively pushing back the cuticles. These habits weaken the structure of your manicure and may cause lifting or discomfort.

A Quiet Practice

Your treatment is an invitation to care , not only for how your nails appear, but for how they are preserved. These small, consistent habits support both beauty and integrity.
