How should I look after my LCN Gel Nails?

LCN Gel Nails, or Light Concept Gel Nails, are the latest innovation in Nail Cosmetics! Everybody’s talking about them, because they’re just exploded into Spas and Salons nationwide.

LCN Gel Nails are a Gel with a similar consistency to honey that is sculpted around the tip or onto your actual nail. Your newly sculpted nails are then put under a UV light to set. Unlike acrylics, it’s odourless, durable, flexible and non-staining, and when they’ve set, you’re left with a gorgeous, natural looking finish that will have you feel truly glamorous!

Looking after your new nails needn’t be a chore, a lot of people don’t bother taking care of their nails once they’ve been done, but they don’t realise that by leaving them, they could be throwing well spent money down the drain! We all wants our nails to last as long as possible, and there are a few ways you can do this so you get the most out of your LCN Gel Nails.

For a start, great nails starts with a great nail, keeping yourself healthy can help keep your nails healthy, which will in turn make sure your nail underneath the LCN strong and healthy, so when they’re gone, your nails will be just as gorgeous, if not more gorgeous than when you had your LCN nails applied! Make sure you eat your 5 a day, and drink plenty of water. Vitamins help keep nails strong and enriched with goodness, which sounds lovely in itself! So get started and you won’t regret it, you’ll even feel better in yourself to!

Another thing you can do, is start using a good hand and nail cream. By using this it not only helps your nail, but the LCN nail too, it strengthens it and can prolong nail durability by keeping the nail moisturised and flexible. As well as this, wear gloves when cleaning, it sounds silly but when you’re surrounding yourself with polish, soaps and sprays, it can weaken and dry out your nails. Apply your moisturiser before putting your gloves on, so it will act as a nourishing hand and nail mask, creating the opposite effect of what would happen without gloves! It will also help soften your hands leaving them silky soft. Who doesn’t want smooth, soft hands to go with their gorgeous nails?

Try using a nail strengthener every few days, by doing this you’re toughening up your nail, and it can often make your nails look absolutely stunning and shiny all day long! And to really boost this effect, it’s essential you do not pick or bite your cuticles!! Not only does this make the base of your nails really sore, it weakens your nails and that’s the last thing you want!

Finally it’s very important you never, ever try to pick your LCN Nails off, not only is this very, very difficult to do, you could be causing potential damage to your nail underneath, always go back to the salon where you had them to consult them first.

If you follow these easy tips, you’re sure to have gorgeous nails before, during and after your LCN Gel nails!
