How To Stop Nail Lifting

Why do your gel nails start lifting after only 1 week or even a few days? Here are the reasons.

1. Grease residue.

If the real nail surface is not cleaned thoroughly and meticulously, the grease film on the real nail surface will not be cleaned, or if you don't pay attention to protect the real nail after cleaning and keep touching the real nail surface, it may cause buckling.

2. Not using the same brand of primer.

Nowadays, nail polish is a removable product and refuses to be mixed with acidic substances.

And we suggest using the same brand of the same series of products, which is more reliable during the nail polish application If you do not fully understand the characteristics of the product, mixing different brands of products is likely to cause adverse consequences.

3. Not using a primer.

The use of primer is necessary in order for the nails to bond better with gel-based products.

 

So how to make your nails last four+ weeks and stop all signs of lifting? Here is the solution.

How to prepare your nails before a manicure?

Like with any nail service make sure you’re starting with clean and sanitized hands. We are going to begin by pushing back the cuticles to expose any dead tissue. While doing this, make sure that you don’t angle your cuticle pusher too much or keep it too parallel to the nail because you may slip and cause damage to the root of the natural nail. Then you can begin to prep it.

In this step, your goal is to gently remove that dead tissue, and remove the shine from the nail and create a rough surface. And when it comes to prepping the nail plate there are two different ways that you can do it.

One is with a hand file and the other is with a E-file or nail drill machine.

With hand file

A hand file is perfect for beginners who are just learning because the hand file is a lot easier to control than an e-file and you are less likely to cause damage. So, whenever you are using a hand file, make sure that you have full control so it won’t slip and hurt your fingers. And when you do it, just lightly feather over the nail to remove the shine and the dead tissue underneath to create that rough surface for you gel polish.

With nail drill machine

If you are a professional, we suggest that you use an E-file, which is perfect for someone looking to speed up the prep process.

In the prep step, never use a coarse grit on the nail plate because this can cause damage. And make sure that the speed of the E-file is between 3 to 4. Then you can gently file the surface of the nail. Remember to keep your drill parallel to the nail plate instead of pointing down, otherwise, it will leave visible marks on your nails.

After you have filed the surface of your nails with the nail drill machine, you are ready to start the next step.

Why do you need a primer?

What you are going to need is a primer. This is the key player in how long your acrylic nails will actually last. It’s also only necessary to be applied on the natural nail plate. What the primer does is it creates the perfect surface for your nail and the gel to bond. So this is not a dehydrator. A dehydrator removes the oils from the surface of the nail and it will dry your nails really fast.

If you used to seeing primers with acid, those are the ones that dehydrate the nail plate. The reason you want to avoid those is because they could cause allergic reactions or if you have sensitive nail plates this can cause a burning sensation. And, when you finished applying the primer don’t be thrown off by the shiny surface, that’s exactly what you want. Because that’s going to ensure that your gel polish stay on your nails for four to five weeks.

If you complete all the above steps strictly, I am sure you will get perfect prepped nails. That is also a guarantee that your nails won't lifting.

How to properly treat the fluorescent agent in nail products.

In this article, we are going to explain in detail about fluorescents and hopefully help all nail art lovers to dispel their worries

First of all, we have three questions to answer

1: What exactly is fluorescent agent?

Fluorescent agent, also known as fluorescent whitening agent, is a fluorescent dye, or white dye, and a complex organic compound. It absorbs ultraviolet light and emits blue-violet fluorescence, which is neutralized with the yellow light produced by the object absorbing ultraviolet light, making the painted object look white and achieving the purpose of whitening.

2: Is fluorescent agent harmful to health?

• Fluorescents are not irritating to the skin: After years of animal and human experiments, even fluorescent whitening products that come into direct contact with the skin are not irritating to the skin and do not cause skin allergies. And through daily washing actions, such as hand washing and bathing, it can be easily washed off completely and will not be absorbed into the skin.

• No adverse effects on wound healing: The article "Toxicological properties of fluorescent brighteners" published in the German Journal of Dermatology in 1994 pointed out that even if the use of textile materials containing fluorescent brighteners in direct contact with wounds, there will be no adverse effects on wound healing, and no pathological changes to human skin.

• Metabolism: Fluorescent whitening agents are water-soluble and can be excreted quickly and completely through normal metabolism.

  The book "Environmental Quality and Safety Supplement Volume IV 'Fluorescent Whitening Agents'" published by Georg Thieme, Germany, shows that fluorescent whitening agents can be excreted in mice through metabolic studies. Metabolic studies have shown that the vast majority of fluorescent whitening agents are rapidly excreted through the intestine and are not absorbed by the intestine after heavy feeding of CBS. There is no residual fluorescent whitening agent in their blood, liver, and muscle. Therefore, even if a small amount of fluorescent whitening agent CBS enters the body, it will be excreted quickly through normal metabolism.

• Fluorescent brightener CBS is not carcinogenic: The European Union Detergent Association (A.I.S.E.) has shown that fluorescent brightener CBS (also called FWA-5) is not carcinogenic.

The toxicity of fluorescent brighteners is of the same level as that of salt used daily, and the lethal amount of both is very close, which means that, like salt, it is only life-threatening to ingest more than 50g at a time.

Moreover, fluorescent whitening agents are widely present in the items we use every day. For example: most white plastic products, white candles, white tablecloths, plastic storage boxes and A4 paper.

In the nail polish industry, fluorescent brighteners are also commonly used in top coats. And the top coat is often used on color gel and hardener that have already cured and are unlikely to be absorbed, unless you eat it.

3: What is the role of fluorescent agent in the top coat?

Why is fluorescent agent added inside the top coat? First of all, the top coat is mixed by a variety of raw materials, they can't be all transparent and colorless, so the top coat will generally become yellow under the sun.

The blue-violet fluorescence emitted by a small amount of fluorescent agent can neutralize the yellow light emitted by the top coat itself and achieve a balance, so that the top coat will not turn yellow.

However, when a top coat containing fluorescents is applied to the surface of a dark color or black nail polish, it will turn blue under the sunlight. For this problem, we recommend using a crystal clear top coat that does not contain fluorescent brighteners.

As you can see in the picture, the top part of the nail is painted with a crystal clear top coat, and under UV light, the white color turns yellow and the black color remains unchanged. And the top coat with fluorescent whitening agent has no change in the white color under the UV light, and the black color will turn blue.

Therefore, the summary is that fluorescent whitening agent is not a dangerous ingredient, it is important to choose the top coat with or without fluorescent whitening agent according to the color you apply to your nails.

Gel nail lamps: UV vs LED?

Do you often get a lot of questions about the lamps used in manicure? After all we have talked about the gel application, we should also be clarified with the lamps. Because if you don’t have curing down it doesn’t matter how awesome your application and your nail are, it’s all going to come off. And we definitely don’t want that for ourselves or our clients.

• The first question is: What's the difference?

Here is a picture of a traditional UV lamp. It’s probably the most common that you’ll see especially if you’re just starting out or if you’re looking for a cheap type of lamp. This is the very original one. What a traditional UV lamp really is, is a CFL UV lamp CFL means compact fluorescent. And there is also CCFL which means cool cathode or cool compact. And the fluorescent bulbs in it are what makes it work. This fluorescent light bulb emits a portion of the spectrum of UV light. So with this, you can cure the gels. This lamp was usually used about ten years ago.

But now days, LED has completely taken over. It has a different type of light bulb inside. And LED stands for light emitting diode. You may find some of the LED bulbs have different colors, some are yellow some are transparent. That’s because they have different style of dome over the bulb to spread the light and also to protect the bulbs.

And what important is this is also UV lamp. So you can see the difference, CFL lamps and LED lamps are both UV lamps but with different bulbs. And they both cure gel polish.

• So why are CFL lamps are replaced by LED lamps?

1. LED UV lamps are able to emit the full spectrum of light needed to cure both traditional gels and the newer LED formulas and so they can cure all the gels. So you don’t need to replace the bulbs to cure specific gels. And you can expect it to last five years or more and it almost never lose power.

2. You don’t need to replace the bulbs in LED lamps.

The bulbs in CFL lamps usually need to be changed after six months, because they lose their ability to cure. And LED lamps don’t have that problem.

  3. LED lamps take less time to cure the gels.

How do we choose the right UV nail lamp:

In the past CFL lamps could take up to five minutes to cure traditional gels. But LED lamps with that focus very high penetrating type of light that’s going into the gel, they only need up to 1 minute to cure the gels. So LED lamps not only do faster but also better job.

But because LED lamps doesn’t glow as much as CFL lamps. It’s very focused. So you have to ensure that the number of LED bulbs to be more but also arranged properly, even on the sides. 

• what wattage led lamp do i need for gel nails?

About 36 watts.

the wattage of lamps is divided into 9 watts, 18 watts, 36 watts, 42 watts, the higher the wattage nail hardening speed is faster, but you need to check the relevant information before using.

The light of the nail lamp belongs to the long-wave ultraviolet light, generally does not produce serious damage to the skin, but it does make the skin tanned, aging.

Although it is harmless to take a short time to cure, you should always pay attention to the maintenance of your hands. It is best to apply sunscreen and then do your manicure

How does Cat Eye Gel Polish work?

The magnet powder inside the cat eye gel is attracted and gathered under the action of a magnet. Under the reflection of light, a band of light like the pupil of a cat eye appears, i.e. a thin, narrow and bright reflection on the surface, the effect is like a cat eye stone, and that's why the name is cat eye gel.

Cat eye nail polish, as the name implies, is made to look like a cat's eye, and can show different shades of light under the change of light, and attract attention when applied on the nails like a cat eye stone.

Cat eye manicure application steps

1, first prepare all the nail polish and tools, all the nails will be polished and clipped, and then apply a layer of base coat, cure it under the lamp, for about 60 seconds.

2, apply cat eye nail gel, full nail coating, so that the cat eye gel becomes more full and lasts longer.

3, use a magnet to attract, based on the effect you want, the operation ways can be different, and then cure it under the light, and finally apply a layer of top coat, and cure it for at least 60 seconds.

Notes for doing cat eye manicure by yourself

1, when using cat eye nail gel, it is best to use with the combination of primer and removable top coat, otherwise the nail is easy to crack and difficult to remove.

2, Apply cat eye nail gel only once, not too thin, and not too thick.

3, the magnet doesn't need to be special, It can also be your refrigerator magnet or other, do not have to buy a professional magnet, each magnet is different, you can use them to create a unique cat eye manicure.

Conclusion：

Different colors of cat eye nails will have different textures and cat eye nails with different colors of glowing particles, also red cat eye nails. The blue luminous particles give the fingertips a unique look and a cool feeling, while the silver shine looks more natural and gentle.
