About Manicure
Common problems and warning signs
Peeling within 3 days points to poor nail prep or oily residue. Bubbles in gel mean the polish was applied too thick or the lamp was underpowered. White spots often signal dehydration, not calcium loss. Burning under the lamp signals an incompatible gel formula or a curing time above 60 seconds per coat.
Sanitation and hygiene standards
Tools that contact broken skin, such as nippers and cuticle pushers, must be sterilised in an autoclave or hospital-grade disinfectant for at least 10 minutes. Non-porous implements can be wiped with 70 % isopropyl alcohol between clients. Disposable items like files, buffers, and orange sticks should be opened in front of you.
Tools the professional must bring
A full kit should include a 180-grit file, a 240-grit buffer, cuticle nippers, a metal pusher, nippers, a UV or LED lamp, acetone, lint-free wipes, and disposable buffers. Files and buffers must be single-use. Padded mats or armrests are optional but reduce smudges during the first 10 minutes of drying.
Classic, gel, or shellac polish
Classic polish dries in air and usually chips within 3 to 5 days. Gel polish needs a 36 to 48 W UV or LED lamp and lasts 14 to 21 days without peeling. Shellac is a softer gel-hybrid, removed in about 8 minutes with pure acetone, while classic gel needs 15 minutes of soaking and foil wraps.
Aftercare that protects the result
Wear gloves for dishes and cleaning for at least 24 hours after gel. Apply cuticle oil every night for 7 days. Do not use nails as tools to open cans or peel stickers. Book a removal every 14 to 21 days to keep the nail plate healthy.
How long the finish should last
Classic polish should look clean for 4 to 5 days with normal use. Gel should last 10 to 14 days without peeling if cured properly. If lifting happens before day 5, the prep was probably rushed and the pro should redo it at no charge.
What usually goes wrong
The most common issue is lifting gel within 3 days, caused by oily nail plates or thick application. Bleeding cuticles happen when nippers are dull. White spots appear when nails stay wet too long. If polish chips within 24 hours, the base coat was likely skipped.
Sanitation and hygiene standards
Watch that the pro washes hands before starting and wears fresh gloves. Implements that touch broken skin, like nippers, must be sterilized between clients. Pumice stones and foam buffers must be new. If anything looks reused or damp, ask for a replacement before work begins.
Tools the professional should bring
The pro should carry a sterilized metal file, a cuticle pusher, nippers, a buffer block, bowls for soaking, and a portable LED lamp for gel. Files and buffers are single-use. Reusable metal tools must arrive in an autoclave bag that is opened in front of you.
Classic, gel, or shellac: which one to pick
Classic polish dries in air and lasts about 4 to 5 days without chips. Gel polish cures under UV or LED and holds 10 to 14 days. Shellac is a softer gel hybrid, easier on the nail plate, but the base coat must be soaked off, not filed.
