To prevent lifting of nail enhancements, what should practitioners avoid?

Preventing lifting of nail enhancements is crucial for the longevity and durability of the nails. One primary factor leading to lifting is the presence of air pockets between the nail plate and nail tip. When air is trapped in these pockets, it creates a separation between the enhancement and the natural nail, which can lead to lifting. This separation not only affects the appearance but also compromises the integrity of the nail enhancement, making it more prone to breakage and wear.

Ensuring there are no air pockets involves proper technique during the application process, such as thoroughly pressing and sealing the product against the natural nail to achieve a strong bond. This attention to detail is key in minimizing the chances of lifting, which is why understanding the importance of avoiding these air pockets is vital in nail enhancement practices.
