Using your nails like tools to open soda cans or peel off stickers. That tiny action is the fastest way to lift your gel polish and cause chips long before your next appointment. Treat your manicure like jewelry, not hardware, and you will notice that high-gloss finish stays locked in much longer. ### Beyond the Salon Chair We love seeing you walk out of our studios—whether in Rajouri Garden, Punjabi Bagh, or any of our other locations—feeling like a boss. But the real work starts when you get home. Maintaining that 'waah yaar' feeling requires a few simple habits that protect your investment. ### The Cuticle Oil Ritual Think of cuticle oil as food for your nails. Applying it daily keeps the skin around your nail hydrated and, more importantly, keeps the gel polish flexible. If the nail plate dries out, the gel becomes brittle and starts to lift at the edges. A tiny bit of oil every night makes a world of difference. ### Why Hot Water is the Enemy Steamy, long showers or soaking your hands in hot water can cause the nail plate to expand. When it cools and contracts, your polish layer doesn't move with it, leading to premature chipping. We recommend keeping your hands out of excessive heat, especially in the first 24 hours after your service. ### Knowing When to Refill Even with the best care, nails grow out. We usually suggest booking a refill every 2 to 3 weeks. This isn't just about how it looks; it’s about maintaining the structural integrity of your extension and keeping the base healthy. If you notice any lifting, don't pick at it—that is the quickest way to damage your natural nail bed. Just reach out, and we will get you sorted at your nearest studio or with a home visit if you are in our service radius. ## About Oh My Nails We are Aman and Gunveen, the girls behind Oh! My Nails.
