Nail Care Tips | Avoid These 5 Mistakes for Longer-Lasting, Damaged Manicures

Whether you're a nail art beginner or a seasoned "nail lover," you've probably encountered these situations: Shortly after getting your manicure, the edges peel, the pieces chip, it breaks, or even damages your natural nails.

 

Actually, the problem is mostly not with the products, but rather with these hidden "pitfalls" you fell into before and after getting your manicure.

 

Today, we've compiled 5 of the most common nail art mistakes and professional solutions to ensure your manicure truly lasts 14-21 days and doesn't damage your nail surface.

 

1. Mistake: Skipping buffing and cleaning will cause the base coat to lift quickly.

 

Skipping buffing and cleaning is the number one cause of lifting.

Dandruff and oil on the nail surface prevent the base coat from adhering firmly.

 

✔ Correct Procedure

Lightly buff the nail surface with a nail file.

Remove oil with a cleanser.

Apply a thin layer of base coat and cure under a UV/LED lamp.

 

✔ Recommended Product

BRN Base Coat: Lightweight and with strong adhesion, especially suitable for soft nails and those prone to peeling.


2. Misconception: Washing hands, hair, and dishes immediately after getting a manicure.

You might not know that the gel layer needs a little time to "stabilize" after a manicure.

Immediate contact with large amounts of water will cause the nails to swell and the edges to lift slightly.

 

✔ Recommendation

Avoid soaking your nails in water for up to 2 hours after a manicure.

If you must wash your hands, wash and dry them quickly.

 

3. Misconception: Peeling off nail polish with your hands is the most damaging thing you can do to your nails.

Pulling off nail polish doesn't just remove the polish; it removes the natural keratin layer on the surface of your nails.

Long-term effects include:

  • Thinning of the nail surface

  • Pain and sensitivity

  • Easily breakage

 

✔ Correct nail removal techniques

1. Use nail polish remover to quickly remove nail polish without damaging your hands.

2. Gently push away any remaining gel with a polish remover stick.

 

✔ Recommended product

BRN Magic Gel Polish Remover: Non-irritating, non-burning, reduces nail surface damage.


4. Misconception: Skipping the top coat leads to chipping and scratches.

Top coat ≠ shine. The true function of the top coat is to protect the nail structure and provide scratch and abrasion resistance.

Especially for dark colors, cat-eye, and glitter designs, without a top coat, the color will quickly smudge.

 

✔ Top coat tips

The top coat must cover the edges.

Cure under a UV lamp for the full time to ensure complete curing.

 

✔ Recommended product

BRN Top Coat/ Matte Top Coat: Abrasion-resistant, scratch-resistant, and provides a long-lasting shine for 21 days without yellowing.

         


5. Myth: Neglecting daily care will ruin even the best manicures.

These habits damage your manicures:

  • Opening cans with your nails

  • Direct contact with cleaning agents

  • Poke the keyboard with your fingertips while typing

  • Doing housework without gloves for extended periods

 

✔ Recommendations

Typing with your fingertips

Wearing gloves while doing housework

Applying cuticle oil regularly to reduce hangnails and dryness

Healthy nail surface = stronger manicures.

 

 

Summary: For long-lasting manicures, the key is—good products + good habits

 

By avoiding these 5 common mistakes, your manicures will be stronger, won't peel, and won't damage your nails.
