Firstly because one doesn’t get accustomed to nail extensions too soon, and secondly there are chances of them (nails) getting chipped.

“Always remember your nails are jewels not tools, so take utmost care while you put anything artificial to enhance their look,” says, beauty expert Mini Yadav, Bella Madonna.

Tips on how to take care of nail extensions:

1. It takes time to get accustomed to nail extensions — may be a day or two. Start caring about your nails by applying cuticle oil to your nails and cuticles, at least once a day to prevent lifting.

2. Try and avoid non-acetone remover as this will damage your nail extensions. Apply a base coat before using coloured nail varnish; this will help prevent staining and yellowing of the nails.

4. Try not to expose the nails to any harsh cleaning products.

5. Never remove the nail extension forcefully. This can damage the natural nail plate.

6. In case of nail cracks, chips, breaks or if it starts to lift off, then immediately go for nail repair.
