6 handy tips to strengthen polygel nails and keep it beautiful for a long time
To help you with applying and maintaining long-term polygel nails, we are happy to share six useful tips to make your adhesion as strong as possible and to guarantee the chance of a 3-4 week manicure!
1. Ensure good preparation: Good preparation is the key to a successful Polygel application. Make sure your nails are clean, dry and free of old nail polish before you start. Use a cuticle pusher to carefully push your cuticles back and use a nail file to slightly rack the surface of your nails. This helps the adhesion of the primer, to improve Base Coat and Polygel and reduces the risk of breaking down.
2. Choose the correct nail tip size: When applying polygel it is important to choose the right size nail tip for every nail. A too large or too small nail tip can lead to uneven pressure distribution and reduced adhesion of the polygel. Make sure that the nail tip closely matches the natural shape and size of your nail bed for the best results.
3. Vijl the sides well for optimum adhesion: Before applying the nail tip, it is important to carefully file the sides of your natural nail. Make sure that the edges of your nail are evenly formed and that there are no sharp corners or rough edges. By filing the sides well, you create a smooth surface on which the polygel can attach evenly to the most important place. This prevents air to come under the polygel or brackets arise, which can lead to early breaking of the nail.
4. Extra curing after removing the nail tip: After you have applied and formed the nail tip, it is advisable to have the polygel hardened extra after you have removed the nail tip. This can be done by placing your hands under a UV or LED lamp during the recommended curing time of the Polygel. This extra curing ensures a stronger adhesion and reduces the risk of early losing weight of the nail.
5. Avoid contact with water: Polygel nails are generally water resistant, but excessive water exposure can reduce the adhesion of the product. Try to avoid contact with water as much as possible, especially immediately after applying the polygel. For example, use gloves when washing or cleaning, and avoid weeks of weeks in water, such as in a hot tub or swimming pool.
6. Regular maintenance and care: Just like natural nails, polygel nails also require regular maintenance and care. Keep your nails clean and dry, and regularly use a moisturizing cuticle oil to keep your cuticles and the skin around your nails healthy. If you notice that a nail is starting to come loose, try not to pull or pick yourself, but instead visit a professional nail stylist to have it repaired in a safe way.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your polygel nails remain beautiful for a long time and the risk of breaking down or being losing weight early.
