How to restore nails after gel polish at home?

Gel polish is one of the most popular products in the nail industry and allows you to implement the most unusual design solutions. However, along with excellent decorative properties and high durability of the coating, the use of gel polishes significantly thins the nail plate. This is due not so much to the effect of the product itself, but to the harmful effects of its removal from the nails.

There may be several reasons for the weakening of the nail plate. Damaged nails may be the result of the inept work of an inexperienced master who has sanded the record too deeply, making it very thin and brittle. Ideally, grinding should affect only the top, shiny surface of the nail, and create only a slight roughness, necessary for better adhesion with gel polish. The second, no less common reason, is the use of improvised means for removing gel polish at home.

It often happens that professional formulations for removing manicure for some reason are not available, and then the owner of the gel nails begins to tear off the coating in the most unthinkable ways. Often, the varnish is simply peeled off the nail plate, and peeled off as a film, or worse - use acetone. The use of acetone not only adversely affects the nail itself, but also has a draining effect on the entire periungual area. As a result of this barbaric attitude, the structure of the nail suffers very much, and it begins to partially collapse.

Another cause of damage to the nail may be the use of low-quality material. An expired gel polish coating is especially harmful to the nail structure. Such a coating quickly cracks and is covered with deep grooves. In addition to the mistakes of the master and the low quality of the materials used, a fairly common reason is the very method of applying gel varnish.

Such isolation leads to a rapid deterioration of the condition of the nails, and requires the mandatory rehabilitation of damaged plates.
