Gel polishes cure and harden when exposed to UV light due to photoinitiators. These molecules trigger a chemical reaction that solidifies the gel.
Buffing the nail removes its natural shine, which helps the gel polish adhere better and last longer.
Sealing the edges of the nail with gel polish is crucial in preventing peeling or chipping, ensuring a durable finish.
Using sunscreen or fingerless gloves reduces UV exposure risk, protecting skin health during curing.
Applying too thick layers of gel polish can prevent the proper penetration of light and compromise curing.
If clients experience heat spikes during curing, pause the process to allow cooling before continuing.
Not applying a top coat can lead to decreased durability and lack of shine in gel nails.
Soaking gel nails with acetone is the recommended removal method, minimizing damage to the natural nail.
For even application, use thin, even layers of gel polish allowing proper curing and a smooth finish.
Gel nails offer a longer-lasting finish compared to traditional polishes, making them a popular choice.
