Gel polish bribed us with its durability, having spent an average of 2.5 hours on a manicure, we can not worry about nails for 3-4 weeks. In order to understand why gel polish does not hold, first let's determine how long it should still hold.
How long can you wear gel polish? Everyone's nails grow differently, but in the average period of wearing gel polish is 3 weeks. 4 - possible, but less desirable, especially if growth is fast.
Why is it harmful to walk with gel polish for a long time?
Wearing gel polish longer is harmful to the health of your nails! The master, applying the gel, shapes the architecture of the nail so that the stress zone (the weak point where the nail breaks) is closer to the base. The nail grows, the stress zone moves higher, the risk of breaking the nail also becomes higher.
There are other reasons, such as detachments, which are not always visible to the eye, and this is already a breeding ground for bacteria and the risk of fungus; and the gel polish looks untidy and ugly with long wear.
Here we are with you and decided how much you can wear gel polish. But what if your manicure does not live up to this deadline safe and sound? Let's look for reasons.

The responsibility for the durability of the coating does not lie entirely with the master, everything is 50/50 here, there are moments that depend on the professionalism of the master, and there are - on ourselves.
Thin or thinned nails
The worse the condition of your nails, the worse the gel polish adheres to them. Therefore, one of the common reasons is in the weak state of the nail plate. If the nails are thinned after an unsuccessful manicure (most often it is unsuccessful withdrawal gel polish), the best option is to let them grow back and recover.
You can use oils, wax for nails, drink a vitamin complex - but only after receiving a doctor's recommendation, and not advice from the Internet.
High humidity of the nail plate
If you have such a feature, it can cause poor wear of the gel polish if you do not properly prepare the nails. We need a dehydrator! It delicately removes excess moisture from the nail plate, preparing it for the base application.
If you are doing your own manicure, apply a dehydrator before applying the base after all manicure work to cleanse, file nails.
Cheap base and top
Buying a set for 1500 thousand from Aliexpress, in which there is a base, and top, and colored varnishes, it is strange to expect that it will hold. And without Ali, there are enough cheap base and top coatings. The flower garden is quite yourself can be budget, but it is pointless to save on the base and top, since the quality will suffer, and, accordingly, the wearing period of the coating.
Therefore, we choose high quality materials. Each master chooses a brand individually, for different clients some masters have a different base, experience does its job.
Poorly sealed end
The tips of the nails must be well sealed by applying a coating to them. It is important to make sure that everything is printed, otherwise the missed space will cause the material to chip. And it is important that this layer is not thick.
If you are doing your own manicure, provide yourself with good lighting and consider this point carefully.
Incendiary
Whether you do the manicure yourself, or go to the master, you always need to make sure that the gel polish does not flow onto the cuticle or side ridges. Otherwise there will be detachments. To avoid such embarrassment, the manicure should be done as perfectly as possible - everything should be well cleaned of pterygium and dust. If the gel polish is liquid, you need to be careful so that it does not drip, carefully and quickly put your hand into the drying lamp.
If you are doing your own manicure and you have liquid gel polish, apply the first layer as thin as possible and not ideally close to the cuticle. On the second layer, you can pick up closer to it. And if the gel polish is still numb on the cuticle or rollers, you can remove it with an orange stick or a pusher BEFORE drying in a lamp.
Mechanical damage
How many jokes the masters have on this topic! Often the client himself provokes a chip, picking something with his nails out of habit. For example, when washing dishes or a dirty surface. Unlearn this habit if you notice this in yourself. And you will be happy!
