How to Take Care of Your Stiletto Nails, so They Can Last Longer?

Something you need to be wary of before you get stiletto nails is that the sharp tips will eventually start rounding up because of the constant friction that’s getting applied to them every time you press them against any surface. Approximately two weeks after you’ve gotten your nails done they will most definitely start taking a more almond nail shape, however, this is something completely normal that you shouldn’t fret about! Here are a few aftercare tips that help you keep your nails looking fabulous for a longer period of time:
- Adapt the way you use your hands to your everyday activities. Remember – your nails are not tools, so make sure that you don’t apply any unnecessary pressure on them. A useful tip – don’t open cans with your nails – try using a spoon instead. Also, any buttons that you’d usually press with the tip of your finger, press with your knuckles instead.
- Under no circumstances should you use abrasive cleaning products with bare hands as that will result in damage to your gel nail polish – wear disposable gloves.
- It’s absolutely crucial that you apply cuticle oil around your nails and underneath the free edge, especially during the winter or if you live in a place with a dry climate. This will add moisture to your nail and stop it from curling away from your gel or acrylics.
