If you&#;ve ever experienced cracks within your gel polish, don&#;t worry, you are not alone! Even if your manicure looked perfect when it was applied, cracks can sometimes appear through the middle of the nail or around the edges. Ultimately, it comes down to preparation and how the polish is applied.

Whilst applying polish in thicker coats may seem like it creates a strong barrier, thin and even coats of polish is the best way to avoid cracks from appearing. Proper structure and apex placement of the nail can help to avoid gel polish cracking. A nail structure that is too flat will experience cracking in the stress zone and sidewalls. Gel polish should be blended perfectly flush into the cuticle of the nail, with majority of product placed over the stress area and a thinner amount of polish towards the free edge. Over-filing the sidewall structure of the nail during your prep can also cause gel polish to crack as it can weaken the nail bed and sidewalls.
If it is your client who is experiencing cracks within their gel polish, it may be because they are being too &#;hands-on&#;. Experiment with different products to see if anything can help their Mani last that little bit longer. Halo Mega Bond is the ideal base coat for clients that are prone to lifting, chipping and cracking. Remember to tell clients that their nails should never be used as tools and, if they are, cracking cannot be avoided.
Asking clients to maintain moisture within their Mani post-application will ensure nails and polish do not become dry and brittle. Regularly applying Pure Nails Cuticle Feed is a great way to revitalise and maintain healthy levels of moisture in gel polished nails.

Why Does My Nail Polish Peel After One Day?
Nothing is more annoying than taking time out of your day to carefully paint your nails, only to have it chip the next day, or even worse&#;peel off in one sheet. "The most common reason for early peeling is that the nail surface wasn't properly prepped," says Rebecca Isa, the creative director of polish brand, Zoya. "Before applying your base coat, make sure to clean your nails with a nail prep product to remove any residual oil and dirt. If there's any residue, the base coat won't bond properly with the keratin in your nails, leading to premature chipping and peeling."
