Peeling and brittleness of gel nails is a fairly common problem that brings a lot of inconvenience and disappointment to their owner. In such situations, you don’t always need to blame the manicurist for a negligent approach to work. The source of the problem can be either personal intolerance by the body to artificial material, or other factors that affect the condition of extended nails. We will help you understand the reasons for gel nails peeling and tell you how to avoid them.
Violations of extension technology: a mistake by the master
Poor preparation of natural nails for extensions is a common mistake made by nail technicians. Before extensions, it is very important to properly prepare the natural plate.
Wizard errors:
- Incorrect filing of natural nails (if the filing is made with a rough file, the nail plate may begin to peel).
- Degreasing the nail plate. Error: after filing the plate, the dust was not removed from it with a special brush or it was not thoroughly treated with a primer (degreaser). Also, after degreasing, the master should not touch the nail plate with his hands, and try not to touch it. If there is dust or grease on the nail plate from your hands, this will lead to further peeling of the material.
- Excess primer (degreaser). Do not apply gel to wet nails. If moisture remains after treatment (the primer does not dry out), this will quickly lead to the gel coming off.
- The gel came out onto the cuticle. When extending nails with gel, you need to make an indent of 1 mm from the cuticle. If the gel comes out on the skin after some time, air and detachments will appear underneath it.
- Copious application of glue when applying extensions to tips. When applying nail extensions to the tips, you should carefully apply the glue so that its drips do not come out on the skin (side rollers). If the master does not remove excess glue with a machine or a nail file, then the gel will begin to come off in the future.
- A thick layer of gel in the free edge area. If the free edge is too loaded with gel, this will lead to uneven distribution of the load. Compliance with all the rules of nail architecture is the basis for their longevity.
- Thin layer of gel. If the gel is applied too thinly in the cuticle area and free edge, this will also lead to peeling.
- Cheap gels or a combination of different gels. You should avoid gels from dubious manufacturers. Gels of different brands differ in their chemical composition, the materials may be incompatible, they will delaminate, crack and diverge.
- Mistakes when correcting extended nails can lead to their detachment. This can happen if, during repeated correction, the architecture of the nail was damaged, cracks were poorly filed, or the regrown material was peeled off.
What to do if your nails are peeling off the gel
If your health is in order, then you should change your manicurist, or choose material from a different company. For girls who want to do their own manicure, it is advisable to take training courses, and then write out a reminder for yourself with all the stages of work. By updating your manicure once a month, you may forget some details. The main thing is to maintain sterility and monitor the instrument.
If it’s a matter of how you feel, then you should immediately go and see a doctor. Before this, the gel must be removed. It is better if a master does this, carefully preserving the native nail. The technician needs to be warned about the problem, because the fungus is transmitted through hands. If you are allergic to the material, then it is useful for the master to know about such a dangerous reaction in the client.
