Extend the life of your Kukue Nails with these simple care tips:

  • Limit Water Exposure – Avoid keeping your nails in water for long periods, such as during swimming, to prevent them from loosening.

  • Avoid Excessive Heat – High heat, like in a sauna, can soften the glue and reduce wear time.

  • Be Gentle – Watch out for activities that could chip, crack, or break your nails.

  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals – Keep nails away from strong detergents, cleaning products, or acetone-based polish removers.

  • Apply Cuticle Oil – Moisturize your cuticles regularly to prevent dryness that can loosen nails.

  • Store Properly – Keep your Kukue Nails in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and quality.
