Questions about reinforcement
I have been using this for a few weeks and am so far quite satisfied. After about 1 week, the reinforcement starts to come off near the cuticle – so I haven't quite got the technique down yet. I understand that it is very important to clean the nails beforehand so that there is no oil on the nail. I also usually lightly file the surface of the nail. Otherwise, I follow the instructions that came with the kit. Since removal wears down the nail a bit, I would like to avoid removing the reinforcement every week when it starts to come off. Two questions: 1. What can I do to prevent the reinforcement from coming off at the cuticle? What could be the cause? 2. Do I have to remove the reinforcement when it starts to come off, or can I fill it in? However, I don't want a "bubble" to form that grows out with the nail.1 product in post Questions about reinforcement214 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko. The comment was made 2 weeksHi there Ellen 👋🥰 So great to hear that you are happy with the Builder Gel Kit so far! 💅 The material starting to lift at the cuticle often happens because the product got a bit too close to the skin or there is oil or invisible skin residue left on the nail plate. Gently buffing the nail surface and cleaning thoroughly before application is absolutely right. A tip is also to be extra careful to push back the cuticles and avoid the gel touching the skin during application. Regarding your second question, I recommend not filling on top of an area where the material has started to lift from the nail. If a lift or air bubble has formed, it’s best to gently file away the loose material before applying new product. This reduces the risk of moisture or dirt being trapped between the nail and the product. If you want to avoid having to pull or rip off the material when it starts to lift, you can instead use a soak-off method. Then you dissolve the material in a gentler way according to the instructions in the kit, which is usually much kinder to the natural nail. 🤍 The acetone used during removal can be a bit drying for both nails and skin, so I recommend moisturizing your hands, cuticles, and nails afterwards 💕 lyko.com/sv/depend/depend-gel-iq-remover-method-2--se-fi- lyko.com/sv/depend/depend-gel-iq-removal-wraps-foil-10-pcs--se-fi-no-dk- lyko.com/sv/depend/depend-pt-myrra---avokado-nagelolja-8ml Hope this helps and that the durability will be even better at your next application!
