How to make your manicure last longer
By Near2 Editorial · 10 Oct 2026 · 3 min read
A little aftercare makes a big difference to the life of a manicure.
Keep nails and cuticles moisturised, wear gloves for cleaning and avoid using your nails as tools. If you have gel or BIAB, never peel or pick it off; professional removal protects the natural nail.
Book an infill or removal at the time recommended by your nail technician, and mention any lifting early so it can be dealt with safely.
