Why does gel polish come off and how to extend the wearing time?

You have noticed more than once that someone's gel polish lasts all 2 weeks, or even more. And someone starts having problems in a day: cracked, moved away in some places and others.
For everyone, the question of the durability of the coating and its quality is of concern. But gel polishes do not always meet our expectations for the durability of this coating.
Consider possible reasons.
First of all, this is the procedure itself, how the manicure was performed:
1. (shine and degreasing buff removed);

2. whether the first layer of gel polish is applied to the dried nail plate (after a primer, or other product provided by your cosmetic line); we also use ingarden systems, and if you follow all the rules, then the coating can stay on the nails for up to 1.5 months , or even more!

3. Is the free edge of the nail sealed (if the free edge of the nail is missing or the fingertips go over the nail - this happens when the client bites his nails, or cuts off the free edge to zero);

After applying gel polish, it is not advisable to wet your hands in water for the next 2-3 hours. Of particular note is washing dishes, taking a shower, washing your hair and sauna, all this, in the first 2-3 hours, can also cause peeling.

Other reasons may be:
Constant contact with water - washing dishes without gloves, frequent washing of hands, working in aggressive environments - leads to the absorption of moisture by the nail plates, which will also cause peeling of gel polish or biogel.

Feature of the nail plate (rejection of foreign material on the nails - in this case, the work of several different masters and different materials does not last the indicated 2-3 weeks);

Excessive moisture of the skin of the hands - elementary often sweaty palms - (in this case, it is advisable to walk along the nail plate with a primer twice - and dry it thoroughly before applying gel polish);
The following reasons are not excluded:
Some kind of disease of the nervous system or a stressful period in life;
Violation of the immune system;
The cause may be diabetes, the passage of some kind of treatment course;
Taking antibiotics;
The rehabilitation period after the operation;
In addition, one should not forget about such subtle moments as pregnancy, hormonal disruptions and critical days (in the early days, you should also refrain from building and gel strengthening, applying gel polish, biogel).

Here are some tips on how to make the coating durable and prolong the wear.

Each manufacturer calls different periods of wearing, but it is usually recommended to change it every 2 weeks, but it all depends on the rate of nail growth and the client may come to the procedure a little more often or a little less often. How to ensure that the coating remains resistant throughout the entire period of wear?
Let's look at a few rules:
1. Proper manicure and preparation of the nail plate.
before coating on the nail plate, it is not recommended to apply fat-containing preparations, such as cuticle oil, creams, lotions, removers with moisturizers.
the manicure must be dry, otherwise, in some cases, the coating will detach due to insufficient dehydration of the nail before application. Yes, one can argue and say that it is possible to dry the nail plate, but often we use moisturizers during maceration, which create a film on the surface of the skin and nails, preventing the latter from drying out. But this is not relevant before coating. For the durability of the coating, dry nails are needed.
carefully remove the pterygium. With a wet manicure, it is very easy to overlook and leave pterygium on the nail plate. And this is a very important rule for preparing a natural nail.
evaluate the condition of the nail plate: the coating is worse on the yellow plate, since its top layer has absorbed a large amount of pigment, and if before that there was a strengthening varnish on the nails, now there is a small amount of varnish polymer between the upper scales. These factors also do not contribute to the adhesion of gel polish to the nail. Polish your nails with a soft buff 240 grit.
Notice the split ends. Shorten your nails or clean off loose scales. If the client does not want to shorten, there are nuances. The exfoliated tip is fragile and brittle, so it needs to be strengthened or removed.
2. Correct application.

The first thing you should pay attention to when applying is applying the base. It should not get on the skin, but it should be where the color will be. Otherwise, he won't hold back.
Second - the coating should cover the ends with all 4 layers.
Third, be sure to strengthen soft springboard nails.

Without strengthening, gel polish will not last long.
Often there are problems with the “creeping away” of the base from the cuticle, side rollers and from the ends, this is due to the peculiarity of this polymer to shrink. To reduce this effect, you need to apply the base with a medium drop and dry one finger at a time.
