Who doesn’t want salon-perfect nails every day?
You might even be considering switching to a gel or press-on nail instead as a result.
You also need to file down your original nails to get them to adhere perfectly.
While you could do gel nails at home, this is a technique typically employed in professional salons.
But it can often come at the cost of your nail health.
Gel nails, meanwhile, adhere best to nails that are a bit dried out.
Therefore, salons might add a bit of acetone to clean and dry your nail bed.
It’s also common to buff down your nail before applying the gel nail polish.
Gel nails are designed to last, so several coats are required to properly cure them to your nail.
However, this makes removing them a long and arduous process.
They also heavily discourage picking at gel polish since this can cause further damage like peeling.
Always remember not to force them off.
If in doubt, add a bit of acetone to get things moving.
