Acrylic Nails Always Lift

Why Acrylic Nails Lift: 7 Common Causes

Improper Preparation

Skipping or improperly applying primer can weaken the bond between the natural nail and the acrylic, leading to lifting.

Inferior Products

Using low-quality acrylic or improper nail tools can compromise the integrity of the artificial nail.

Overfiling

Excessive filing of the natural nail can thin it out, making it more susceptible to damage and lifting.

Exposure to Water

Prolonged exposure to water can soften the acrylic and weaken the bond with the natural nail.

Nail Growth

As natural nails grow, the acrylic may start to separate from the cuticle area, creating a gap.

Impact Damage

Hitting or bumping the nails can cause the acrylic to crack or break, leading to lifting.

Poor Technique

Inexperienced nail technicians or improper application methods can result in acrylic nails that are prone to lifting.
