Her approach
Why Tracey works with Bio Sculpture and Evo
Every appointment starts with a look at your nails, not the colour chart.
Two systems, one brand
Because they work together, Tracey can use whichever suits your nails on the day, and change as your nails change.
Less buffing
Your natural nail is buffed as little as possible, so less of it is filed away.
A fit for most nails
Evo for short to medium nails and toes, Bio Sculpture gel for strength, length and detailed art. There is a right option for most nails.
Product details come from Bio Sculpture's own information: Bio Sculpture Evo and Bio Sculpture FAQs.
Aftercare
Looking after your nails, hands and feet
Simple habits make any system last longer and keep the skin around it comfortable.
Nails
- Do not pick or peel gel off. It takes layers of your own nail with it. Book a soak off instead.
- Use cuticle oil once or twice a day.
Hands
- Moisturise after washing and use hand cream at night.
- Wear gloves for washing up and cleaning.
Feet
- Dry between your toes after washing.
- Moisturise your heels and change socks daily.
Skin and cuticles
- Push cuticles back gently rather than cutting them.
- Keep the skin around your nails moisturised.
If a nail changes colour, thickens, lifts or hurts, or the skin around it looks red or swollen, see your GP or pharmacist before booking. Tracey checks the condition of your nails and skin at every appointment.
