Why does manicure happen like this?

Why do the nails I did myself curl up and tear apart after taking a shower? Is it because I didn’t remove the dead skin or something else?

Because the violent nail removal I did before made my nails very brittle, I bought the tools myself to do a simple solid color. I only applied base glue, reinforcement glue, nail polish, glue and sealer #AskLemon8 #manicure

... Read moreManicuring at home can sometimes lead to undesirable outcomes, such as curled or brittle nails. This often occurs due to incorrect techniques or improper nail care. One common mistake is failing to properly prep the nails before applying polish; removing cuticles and dead skin is essential for nail health. Additionally, the type of products used can significantly impact nail strength. Quality base coats and top coats help create a durable layer, whereas cheap products may cause peeling. Moisture can also play a critical role. When nails are exposed to water from showers or washing hands, they can soften, which might lead to curling or tearing. It's important to allow nails to dry thoroughly after polishing and to consider applying a nourishing nail oil or serum to maintain moisture balance and flexibility. Regular maintenance, including gentle filing and avoiding aggressive removal methods, can help keep nails strong and healthy. If persistent issues occur despite these measures, consulting a professional manicurist may provide personalized advice to enhance your nail care routine.
