Manicure masters are true beauty fairies. They create perfect shapes, choose shades to suit your mood. But even experienced nail fairies sometimes make mistakes — often due to haste or overconfidence.
We at You Are Cute have collected the 5 most common mistakes that can affect the result even for experienced craftsmen. And, of course, we will tell you how to avoid them.
- Rushing during the preparation phase
Proper preparation of the nail plate is the basis of any coating. If it is poorly degreased, dust is not removed, or moisture is left behind, the base for gel polish will not adhere properly, and the coating can quickly peel off.
Tip: Always allow enough time for preparation, even if the client is in a hurry. A gel polish manicure requires care from the very first stage.
- Too thick a layer of product
Many people think, “The more the merrier.” But that doesn’t work with gel nails. Too thick layers of base or gel polish can prevent the inside from drying out, causing wrinkles or peeling.
Life hack: thin, even layers are the key to a beautiful and long-lasting manicure.
- Underdrying or weak lamp
Even the best manicure materials won't work if the lamp is poor quality or old. An under-dried gel polish base can cause peeling, and colored gel polish can lose its shine.
Tip from You Are Cute: check the power of your lamp and update it on time.
- One product for all
Every client is unique. Some have thin and flexible nails, while others have hard and brittle nails. And if you choose a universal base or gel without taking this into account, the adhesion will be weak.
Solution: You Are Cute line has different types of materials for different nail types. Choose individually - this is the care that clients feel
- Excessive sawing of natural veneer
Many people want to "perfectly prepare" their nails before applying gel polish and start actively filing them. But this damages the nail plate and reduces adhesion.
Solution: delicacy is the main secret of a professional manicure.
- Finally
Being a master is not only about beauty, but also about responsibility. Choose quality manicure materials, work with love, and don't forget to learn - even after 1000 perfect designs.
