If your gel or semi-permanent varnish peels off, it is often the result of poor nail preparation.
This preparation step should not be neglected, whether for the health of your nails or for the hold of the gel and semi-permanent varnish.
Here's how to do it so that there is no detachment:
- Disinfect hands
- Push back cuticles without damaging them
- Mattify the top of the natural nail (the plate) with a buffer block
- Dust your nails well
- Degrease the natural nail with cleaner
- The nail must no longer have any traces of grease, otherwise the gel or varnish will not adhere.
- Apply a layer of Nail Prep to optimize hold
- Apply a coat of primer
- Dust well after each filing
- The gel or semi-permanent varnish must absolutely not touch the skin, this causes it to peel off.
- The primer layer should not be too thick
- There should be no bubbles between the natural nail and the capsule, this causes detachment.
- The capsule demarcation should not be filed too much.
Reasons for UV gel peeling:
- Forgetting to apply a thin layer of primer
- Primer layer too thick
- There is dust left on the nail
- Natural nail that re-greases too quickly
- Nails that are not properly degreased
- Gel or varnish that touches the cuticles
Sometimes it happens that natural nails get greasy quickly naturally, in this case, even if the preparation is done well, the semi-permanent varnish or gel will peel off.
It is advisable to use a Nail Prep before the primer, to put all the chances on your side for a perfect hold, it allows to dehydrate the nail to prepare the plate ideally.
