How to Make Summer Gel Nails Last
Gel polish is tough, but sun cream, chlorine and salt water can dull its shine, so rinse your hands after swimming and refresh the gloss with a gel-effect top coat when needed. Always let your nail tech remove gel properly rather than peeling it off, which protects the natural nail underneath. Hydrated cuticles make every colour look freshly done, so keep a drop of cuticle oil in your beach bag all season.
From a single minimal bloom to a full parade of pansies, summer gel nails carry colour and art beautifully for weeks on end. Save your favourites, book the appointment, and enjoy a manicure that shines as long as the sunshine does.
