Why does my gel polish peel off?Updated 10 months ago

There are several factors that could contribute to the peeling off of gel couleur. Primarily, inadequate preparation of the natural nail is a common culprit. This often occurs when the cuticle is not sufficiently trimmed or removed, leading to lifting. Additionally, individuals with naturally oily skin may require an extra layer of primer or a swipe of acetone to facilitate drying of the natural nail bed. Another potential cause could be an uneven application of the base coat. To promote prolonged adherence, applying two layers of base coat can ensure a smoother and more level surface, thus enhancing durability.
