Handling Poor Conditions in UV Gel Nail Polish (Part 4)
Release time:
2026-05-07 17:19
Chipping refers to the lifting or complete detachment of gel polish from the nail edge, which is a common issue that compromises the longevity of a manicure. The root causes are inadequate adhesion and failure of the edge seal. Unlike surface defects such as wrinkling or bubbling, chipping directly affects the overall lifespan of the manicure. This article will discuss strategies for preventing chipping and methods for addressing it once it occurs.
I. Preventive Measures for Shedding
1. Thorough degreasing is the foundation for preventing nail polish from peeling off. Use a cleansing solution or alcohol wipes to thoroughly clean the nail surface, switching to a fresh section of the wipe for each nail. After cleaning, avoid touching the nail surface with your hands. For oily nails, apply a drying agent before applying the base coat to further enhance adhesion.
2. Select the appropriate base coat. A standard base coat is suitable for most nails, while a strong-adhesion base coat is recommended for problem nails or oily nails. Strong-adhesion base coats contain a higher proportion of adhesion-promoting monomers, enabling them to form strong chemical bonds with the nail surface.
3. Ensure complete coverage of the nail’s anterior edge. When applying the top coat, dip the brush tip into a small amount of gel and gently dot along the leading edge of the nail to ensure full coverage of the nail’s cross-section. While the base coat and color gel also require coverage of the anterior edge, proper sealing is a critical step. After application, carefully inspect for any missed areas, particularly the corners on both sides of the nail.
II. Post-Detachment Management
1. Repair of edge lifting. If the lifted area is small, gently sand down the lifted portion using a polishing stick, smoothing the edges to ensure evenness. After cleaning, apply a primer and color coat, followed by a topcoat and edge wrapping. The transition between the repaired area and the existing coating should be gradual and seamless.
2. Handling complete flaking. If the gel polish has completely peeled off, remove any remaining residue and reapply according to the standard procedure. After removal, examine the peeling surface: if it is smooth, this indicates that the base coat did not adhere properly, so ensure thorough nail surface cleaning and choose an appropriate base coat; if there are remnants of the nail cuticle on the peeling surface, it means the nail surface was torn away, so improve the method used for removing the polish.
III. Conclusion
Prevention is the cornerstone of managing nail detachment, with three key steps: thorough nail surface preparation, proper base coat selection, and complete front-edge encapsulation. If the nail surface is not clean, adhesion cannot be achieved; an inappropriate base coat can cause even natural nails to detach; and failure to encapsulate the front edge allows moisture to easily penetrate. Once detachment occurs, choose either localized repair or a full reapplication based on the extent of lifting, while carefully examining the characteristics of the detached area to identify the root cause. When detachment recurs repeatedly, the underlying issue must be traced back to the overall application process rather than addressing it as a single-point problem.
