      Preparing the nail plate

      One of the key stages in the hybrid manicure process is properly preparing the nail plate. Unfortunately, we often skip this step or perform it inaccurately, which can lead to problems with the polish’s durability. First and foremost, it’s essential to thoroughly clean the nails of any impurities and grease. Here, it’s worth using a cleaner or a special degreaser. If we neglect this step, the hybrid polish may not adhere and start peeling off.

      Did you know that over-buffing or under-buffing the nail can also cause problems? Over-buffing can damage the natural plate, while under-buffing won’t provide adequate adhesion. Finding the golden mean is key to success.

      Applying the base and polish

      The next step is applying the base and polish. Here, too, it’s easy to make a mistake that can result in the polish peeling off. One of the most common issues is applying too thick a layer of base or polish. Each layer should be thin and even. Thick layers may not cure properly in the UV or LED lamp, leading to peeling.

      It’s also worth paying attention to the quality of the products we use. Not all bases and hybrid polishes are the same, and their composition can significantly impact the manicure’s durability. We recommend opting for trusted brands and products that are well-reviewed by users.

      Curing in the lamp

      Curing the polish in the lamp is another crucial stage. A common mistake is curing for too short a time or using a lamp with too low power. Each product has a specified time it should spend under the lamp to achieve full hardness. Not following these recommendations can result in the polish peeling off.

      Our advice? Always read the manufacturer’s instructions! Each brand may have different recommendations regarding curing time and lamp power.

      Daily care

      Although post-manicure care may seem less important, it significantly impacts its durability. Using moisturizing cuticle oils not only improves the appearance of our hands but also strengthens the nails. We should also avoid prolonged soaking of hands in water, which can weaken the polish’s adhesion.

      It’s also important to remember to protect our hands during household chores that may expose our nails to damage. Protective gloves are not only a shield against detergents but also a way to extend the manicure’s durability.

      Summary: In our opinion at Easy Nails

      Hybrid polish peeling off is a problem that can be solved. The key to success is precision and attention to every stage of the process. Proper preparation of the nail plate, correct application of the base and polish, as well as proper curing in the lamp – it all matters. Let’s not forget about daily care, which supports the durability of hybrids.
