Hybrid nail polish has won the hearts of many due to its durability and aesthetic appearance. However, even the best products can sometimes cause problems. Why does hybrid nail polish peel and chip? In this article, we will look at the most common causes of this phenomenon and suggest how to prevent it.
Poor nail plate preparation
How we prepare the nail plate is crucial for the durability of hybrid nail polish. Improper cleaning, insufficient matting, or skipping nail degreasing are some of the most common mistakes. It’s important to remember that dust, grease, and other contaminants can significantly reduce the polish’s adhesion. Do we always pay attention to these steps? Do we skip them in a hurry?
Product quality
Not all hybrid nail polishes are created equal. Lower quality products may peel off faster, even if applied correctly. It’s worth investing in reputable brands with a good reputation. Do you already have your favorite products that have never let you down? Share them in the comments!
Improper application technique
The technique of applying hybrid nail polish is also extremely important. Applying too thick a layer or not covering the entire nail surface accurately can lead to faster peeling of the polish. It’s worth ensuring that each layer is thin and even. Do you have your tricks that help you apply polish? Let us know!
Inappropriate UV/LED lamps
The time and method of curing hybrid nail polish also matter. Using a lamp with low power or damaged bulbs can lead to incomplete curing of the polish, which in turn affects its durability. Do you regularly check the condition of your lamp? Maybe it’s time for a replacement?
Daily habits
Our daily habits can also affect the durability of the polish. Frequent hand soaking, contact with detergents, or lack of protective gloves during cleaning are just some factors that can weaken the polish. Do you pay attention to how you treat your nails daily?
Changes in health condition
Sometimes the cause of problems with hybrid nail polish may lie in our health condition. Hormonal changes, vitamin deficiencies, or thyroid issues can affect the condition of our nails. If we notice that the polish peels off despite proper application, it might be worth consulting a doctor.
