Let’s have a look at the reasons why gel service breakdowns happen, and the pivotal role builder gels play in creating flawless and durable gel manicures.
Preparação inadequada das unhas
One of the primary causes of service breakdown when working with gel products is inadequate nail preparation. Before applying gel products, it is essential to ensure the nail plate is clean, dry, and free of any oils or residue.
Failure to do so can lead to poor adhesion between the natural nail and the gel, resulting in premature lifting and chipping.
Always perform thorough nail cleansing before beginning the gel application, firstly by prepping the cuticles properly, making sure there is no dead tissue attached to the nail plate. We must always remember that gel does not adhere to skin, so removing the cuticle from the nail plate, and making sure the product NEVER touches the skin is incredibly important.
Em seguida, use o líquido de preparação recomendado para remover a umidade e os óleos da superfície.
Make sure to follow manufacturer’s instructions about which products work best as prep liquids and primers with their product, as they will know best their chemical formulations.

The Importance of Proper Buffing and Application Techniques
Thinning the natural nail can also be detrimental to the bonding process of gel products. While it’s crucial to lightly buff the nail to increase the surface are to create better adhesion, excessive buffing and thinning of the nail plate can weaken it, leading to peeling or lifting. Remember – nail products do not damage nails – just improper application and removal do.
A cura inadequada pode fazer com que as unhas de gel se levantem
Ensuring proper cure is vital for gel nails to adhere correctly. A good understanding of the process of polymerisation is crucial to avoid any service breakdown.
Se o gel não for curado por tempo suficiente, se a lâmpada não estiver funcionando corretamente ou se a lâmpada usada for incompatível com o sistema de gel, o produto poderá não endurecer totalmente, causando levantamento, bolhas e outros problemas.
Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for curing times, always use full systems, and regularly check the bulbs in your Lâmpada UV ou LED to make sure it’s working correctly.
Técnica de aplicação
The way you apply gel products can significantly impact the longevity of the service. If the gel is applied too thickly, it might not cure properly, which will cause service breakdown. It’s best to always apply thin and even layers of product to ensure proper curing, and to avoid heat spikes.
Always avoid touching the client’s skin, as the gel will not adhere to it, and that area will be the first to lift.
Encourage your clients to seek regular nail appointments to maintain the integrity of their gel manicure, and remember – gel is not meant to last forever and it will start to lose adhesion after a certain time.
Produtos de baixa qualidade
Using low quality gel products can contribute to service breakdown. It’s paramount to always invest in reputable and professional only gel brands, which have been tested and approved, and make sure they offer brand specific training.
Muitas marcas têm técnicas de aplicação diferentes, e aprender essas técnicas pode ser a diferença entre um serviço duradouro e um desastre prestes a acontecer.
Alternativas mais baratas podem parecer uma ótima ideia em um primeiro momento, mas podem comprometer a durabilidade da manicure, levando a clientes insatisfeitos e críticas negativas.
Géis construtores e sua importância
Géis construtores have become an essential tool in many nail professionals’ lives, particularly when it comes to providing additional strength and structure to the natural nail. These gels are thicker in consistency than regular gel polishes, making them ideal for creating extensions, correcting uneven nail surfaces, and reinforcing weak nails.
Ao usar os géis construtores estrategicamente, você pode ajudar a evitar problemas comuns, como o levantamento em clientes com unhas difíceis, e aumentar a durabilidade geral da manicure.
Correção de imperfeições nas unhas
Quando uma cliente tem superfícies de unhas irregulares, como sulcos ou imperfeições, os géis construtores podem ajudá-la. Ao aplicar uma fina camada de gel construtor na unha, você pode criar uma tela lisa e bem estruturada para o restante da manicure em gel. Garantir que a superfície da unha esteja uniforme reduz o risco de levantamento do gel, pois não há pontos altos ou lacunas que possam comprometer a adesão.
Aumento da força das unhas
Some clients may have naturally weak or thin nails that are prone to quebra ou descascamento when external forces are applied. In such cases, applying a builder gel as an overlay can significantly reinforce the nails. The added strength and structure from the builder gel can act as a protective shield, reducing the chances of gel lifting and making the manicure more resilient to everyday wear and tear.
Técnicas de aplicação adequadas
When working with builder gels, it’s essential to pay close attention to the application technique. As a rule of thumb, it’s best to apply thin, even layers to ensure proper curing, as the improper cure will most definitely cause service breakdown (and may have other nasty consequences).
Again, following manufactures’ instructions and knowing how a product works is key!
Incentive seus clientes a agendar consultas regulares de manutenção para garantir que os revestimentos de gel da Builder permaneçam intactos e para tratar de possíveis problemas antes que eles se tornem mais significativos.
Compatibilidade com esmaltes em gel
As a nail professional, it’s preferable to work with products of the same brand to ensure chemical compatibility. Mixing products from different brands may lead to unpredictable results, including lifting.
If working with a different brand of builder to the gel polish, it’s always best to make sure the overlay is properly cured and cleansed before the gel is applied.
Levantamento de gel para unhas: Dominando a arte de manicures de gel perfeitas e duráveis
Mastering the art of gel manicures involves understanding of the polymerisation process and how service breakdown is avoided. By addressing issues such as improper nail prep, over buffing, improper cure, application technique, and poor-quality products, you can minimize lifting and chipping, and deliver flawless, long-lasting gel manicures that leave your clients impressed and satisfied.
Remember to educate your clients on nail care at home and the importance of maintenance to prolong the life of their gel manicures too – they can help us a lot by doing their home work.
