Q:How can I avoid the formation of clumpy nails?
Common mistakes include: you apply a coat of gel polish which is too thick, you don't cure your nails for the suggested time under the lamp between thin coats, or the UV lamp doesn’t work properly. We recommend our clients to use an LED lamp, since a UV lamp has very short lifespan and therefore needs to be replaced often.
Q:Why is Gum Gel/Acryl Gel/Poly Gel is sticky when using extension tips or paper forms?
Gum Gel/Acryl Gel/Poly’s special formula is based on the combination of acrylic and gel.
These two main ingredients offer the perfect result for nail extension. If you do not wish for the material to be sticky, you could use the dual tips forms that are specially made for this product.
Q:Is it safe to have gel nails applied during pregnancy?
RONIKI does not recommend the application of nail gel polish to pregnant women, women that are breastfeeding and those treated for a serious disease. It is important to note that during pregnancy women’s skin is more sensitive, because of changes that pregnancy brings to women’s immune system, metabolism, and hormones. It is recommended to ask your doctor for any advice.
Q:Why my nails chip off on the edge?
Chipping off may be caused due to several reasons. First of all, let’s start with the preparation of the nails prior to your manicure. The proper preparation is very important. Nails need to be well buffered to enhance the adhesion of the base coat. RONIKI cleanser wipes are ideal, but you can also use alcohol to cleanse the nails before applying the base coat. If this stage is omitted, the oil may affect the wear of gel polish and may cause the gel polish to chip off.
Moreover, it is important to apply thin layers of gel polish. Otherwise, the gel polish will wrinkle and quickly chip off. Also, it is important to note to always cap the edges when applying your base coat, gel polish and top coat, in order to avoid chipping, when the nail scratches hard surfaces. Be careful when applying your gel polish and avoid touching the skin area.
Finally, properly curing your nails is also important. Please follow the recommended time and ensure that you are not using an old UV lamp.
