Why Does My Nail Polish Peel Off So Easily?

Written by Tara

The reason your gel polish isn’t staying on could be due to the fact that you have too much oil in your nails. If your nails are naturally very oily then you may have problems getting gel nail polishes to stick.

Nail Polish Has Been Applied Too Thick When nail polish is applied too thickly, especially gel nail polish, it starts to peel quickly. When applying nail polish, it is almost always necessary to apply several coats. If the coats that you apply with gel nail polish are too thick, it does not cure and bond correctly.

Generally Why does my nail polish keep lifting? Lifting occurs when there isn’t a correct bond between the product and the nail plate. Therefore, the best way to prevent lifting is through proper prep of the nail plate and product control. It’s important to be very thorough when removing cuticle stuck to the nail plate—a quick swipe of the file isn’t enough!
