Gel polish is flowing on the cuticle: what are the reasons and what to do

click fraud protection

Manicure salons have not yet started working in all cities, so some girls have, for example, to make their own gel polish. Long, dreary and not without problems.

We have already talked about cuts, now we turn to drips - also a common problem when the base, coating or top can flow onto the cuticle and / or periungual roller.

With regrowth, the contour of the cuticle will be indistinct, blurred. Many girls begin to pick out the flow, which in the future will lead to detachments. To prevent this from happening and you do not have to redo everything again, we will analyze the reasons for the formation of drips.

1. Poor manicure

The presence of pterygium (these are such thin films, superimposed in layers on top of each other, between the cuticle and the hole) and poorly processed cuticles.

By the way, when the master is told about "remove the cuticle" - it means not completely cutting it off (this is dangerous to health), but removing the pterygium.

On my channel, not all readers are masters of manicure, so they may have a bad idea of ​​what "pterygium" is. The diagram of the nail plate will help you understand the terms

Any base will have leaks due to unrefined pterygium.

What to do?

I do not recommend a trim manicure, it is better to buy a remover - a tool that softens the cuticle. Apply it to your cuticle. Wait until the pterygium gets wet (just don't let the remover dry) and just scrub it with an orange stick.

2. Dust

After you have finished your nails before applying the coating, dust remains under the cuticles. She also provokes flow

What to do?

Do not just brush your nails, but carefully remove the dust under the cuticles. This can be done with an orange stick wrapped tightly with a napkin.

3. Place your hand in the lamp incorrectly

Place your hand under the lamp and accidentally touch the cover. We get something like the photo below.

The hand must not be folded. Drying all fingers at once is wrong: either 4 at once and the thumb separately, or each nail separately.

What to do?

If you suddenly touched the lamp cover, then remove with a napkin everything that has not dried out, then dry the nail to the end. Then, in the lateral sinuses, gently clean the nail with a cutter, sand the surface, degrease and reapply the coating.

4. Problem with materials

The consistency of the varnish or base is too thin. Also, the problem may be with a specific shade that constantly flows.

What to do?

Here are how many options:

1) if the varnish is too liquid, put it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, the consistency will not be so liquid;

2) apply the base in two stages: first, apply a thin layer, dry, then apply a second layer with leveling;

3) if the problem is with a specific shade, then just remove the sticky layer from the base;

4) choose a material with a dense pigment that is convenient for you to stop all these dances with tambourines in liquid materials.

5. The problem with the staining technique

Excess material on the cyst, or the brush itself is wide, and you paint over the cuticle with it.

What to do?

We paint over the area of ​​the cuticle and lateral ridges with a semi-dry thin brush (This is when, before applying, we removed the sticky layer from the brush with a napkin, i.e. surplus material). Only then can a dense layer be applied to the nail plate with another brush.
