Tips for Making Spring Gel Nails Last
Gel nails love a little routine care. Keep cuticles moisturized with oil every day, because pastel and light shades show dry skin more than dark ones do. Wear gloves for washing up and gardening – March gardens are muddy, and hot water plus soil are both hard on a gel finish. If a corner lifts, resist peeling it off; a quick salon fix protects your natural nail underneath. Finally, rebook your infill or removal at around three weeks so the grow-out line never gets the chance to chip.
From the first mint green to the final full-bloom design, these March gel nails are proof that spring really does start at your fingertips. Pick your shade, book the appointment, and enjoy the season.
