Gel Polish Lifting Issues: Troubleshooting & Shelf Life


Question
hi there i'm a qualified nail technician using the gel system but having problems the gel seems to come off every client weather it be the next day or four days later. the company i trained with have replaced the gel in case it was that still the same happens any ideas?

Answer
Hi Sharon
Which make is the gel?

I was told by the mamnufacturer of the gel that I use, that gel generally only has a 12 month shelf life from manufacture.
By the time it gets to the distributor and then to you, 6 months could have gone by.
You can see that it is possible that thegel had gone by its sell by date.
If the new gel they send does the same, ask them how you can check the date of manufacture.
Also check that your brush isnt contaminated. Make sure it is always covered up when noy in use and kept dust free.
Apparently, the primer for gel has the shortest shelf life, and as it isnt usually expensive, it is better to replace it before it is empty.
Lastly, make sure your prep of the natural nail is very thorough.

Hope this helps
