How Do I Fix Peeling Nail Polish?

Written by Tara

If your nails have too much moisture or oil on them, the polish peels off much sooner than it should. To prevent this, you can try cleaning your nails with alcohol pads or nail polish remover before applying the polish. You can also try applying a base coat or buffing your nails first.

To help your nails recover after peeling gel off, moisturizing is still key. Try to stop picking at your nails and the skin around them while they both heal. Since picking off gel weakens the nail, it’ll take a while for your nails to grow back to their regular strength.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

Why does my nail polish chip after 1 day?

Your nails are not clean/ Your nails are too oily An oily base will make it harder for your nail polish (or base coat) to adhere on your nails which will make it easier to chip prematurely.

Does hot water make nail polish peel?

According to Byrdie, soaking your tips in hot water allows the water to seep into the nail plate, which causes the polish to lift up and even peel off altogether. Switching to cooler showers helps, but even running fingers through your hair in the shower or tub can cause chips in polish.

Why does my gel nail polish peel so fast?

Your layers are too thick. A gel manicure has many layers to it. If these layers are too thick, then your polish won’t cure and bond the right way. When this happens, you’ll start to peel much faster than you should.

Why do my gel nails peel off after a few days?

No, it is not normal for gel nails to come off in such a short amount of time. A set of gels should last you around 2-3 weeks. They may have lifted prematurely as the nail plate may not have been prepared correctly before the gel application, or they may not have been capped/sealed at the free edge.

Why is gel polish peeling off?

The gel top coat usually peels off if it isn’t cured properly, or has been applied over a colour gel or acrylic nails that have been wiped down with isopropyl alcohol. Each layer of gel is sticky and bonds to the next one, so if the tacky layer is removed, the next layer of polish will not adhere and peel off.

Why can’t I keep nail polish on my nails?

Getting polish on your cuticles can cause the paint to lift from the nail which can inevitably lead to chipping. I wouldn’t suggest cutting your cuticles either. To prevent getting polish on them, you should use cuticle oil and a pusher tool to push back your cuticles.

Is 4 coats of nail polish too much?

Jin Soon, a NYC-based manicurist, recommends up to three coats of nail polish for full color coverage and a smooth, finished look. If you apply more than three coats in one sitting, the application will be prone to clumping off in one piece, almost like a shell she says.

How long should you wait between each coat of nail polish?

two minutes 2 minutes. Yup, 2 full minutes between the base coat and the color, two minutes between color coats, and then two minutes before the top coat goes on. She says that’s all you need to wait in between to get a dry enough surface to get the next layer to adhere.

How does vinegar make nail polish last longer?

You can make your nail polish last longer with vinegar. Simply soak your fingernails for one minute in ½ cup of warm water and two teaspoons of vinegar, either apple cider vinegar or white vinegar will do the trick. Wait for you nails to dry.
