Further to my post, above, I just wanted to add that I can't see how applying sunblock an hour before an appointment would be adequate protection? As the manicurist will, normally, have to soak-off the old gel nails and then handle the client's hands fairly extensively during the process of filing the nails and applying the new gels, so I would imagine that most of the sunblock would be removed, or largely rubbed off, by all of that?

As I say, I think it would make more sense to apply it after the new nail gels were applied, but before they were put under the lamp, but the problem would then be that; a) sufficient time would not have elapsed for the sunblock to work properly and b) that it would be virtually impossible to apply it right up to the nail edge (or even close), without compromising the integrity of the gel in some way.

So, without some sort of dramatic new development in sunblocks, or UV lights, or the gel nail process itself, I can't really see a logical way around the problem, to be honest?

BTW, I meant to write extensions, not 'extentions' in my previous comment, obviously - sorry about that! :)
