Precautions for Artificial Nails

If there is any question about sensitivity to the materials in artificial nails, have one nail done as a test and wait a few days to see if a reaction develops.

Never apply an artificial nail if the natural nail or skin around it is infected or irritated. Let the infection heal first.

Read the directions for do-it-yourself nails before applying them, and follow the directions carefully. Save the ingredient list for your doctor in case you have an allergic reaction or other injury.

Treat your artificial nails with care. They may be stronger than your own, but they still can break and separate. Try not to bump or knock them. Find new ways to do ordinary tasks, like using a pencil to dial or depress the numbers on the phone.

If an artificial nail separates, dip the fingertip into rubbing alcohol to clean the space between the natural and artificial nails before reattaching the artificial nail. This will help prevent infection.

Never use household glues for nail repairs. Use only products intended for nail use, and follow directions.

Don't wear artificial nails for longer than three months at a time. Remove them for one month to give nails a rest.

Keep nail glues and other poisonous substances out of the reach of children.
