Peeling gel or gel polish is a common problem, often caused by improper nail preparation. Thorough preparation is essential to ensure optimal hold and maintain the health of your nails.
The key steps for a perfect pose
To avoid any peeling, follow these essential steps:
1️⃣ Disinfect your hands before handling anything.
2️⃣ Gently push back the cuticles without damaging them.
3️⃣ Mattify the surface of the natural nail with a buffer block.
4️⃣ Dust thoroughly after filing.
5️⃣ Degrease the nail using a cleaner to remove all traces of grease.
6️⃣ Apply a layer of Nail Prep , which helps dehydrate the nail and improves adhesion.
7️⃣ Apply a thin layer of primer , being careful not to apply too much.
8️⃣ Do not let the gel or varnish touch the skin , this causes it to peel off quickly.
9️⃣ Check that there are no air bubbles between the natural nail and the capsule.
🔟 Do not file the capsule demarcation too much , at the risk of weakening the adhesion.
Why is your gel or semi-permanent varnish peeling off?
Despite good preparation, several factors can promote detachment:
- Primer application too thick.
- Forgot to apply a thin layer of primer.
- Presence of residual dust on the nail.
- Nails that quickly become greasy again.
- Nails not properly degreased before application.
- Gel or polish that touches the cuticles.
The trick to long-lasting hold
If your nails tend to naturally regrease, even with careful preparation, the gel or polish may not adhere properly. In this case, using Nail Prep before the primer is highly recommended. This product dehydrates the nail and optimizes adhesion for perfect hold.
By following these tips, you will maximize the durability of your manicure and enjoy a flawless result for longer! 💅✨
