3. Why 3 days and not 1?
End of holidays = cumulative fatigue nails + feet + lashes. Doing it all in 1 session:
- 5 hours straight — exhausting.
- Builder gel doesn't polymerise before 24h — day 1 breakage risk.
- Lashes need 24h rest before makeup.
Spreading over 3 days:
- More physically comfortable.
- Allows progressive repair.
- Adapted to post-holiday psychological budget.
