Detachment when working with slider-design

As practice shows, many manicurists who start working with slider-design and photo design stickers, face the problem of material detachment within 2-3 days after coating. The main causes of this problem are listed below. So, what do you need to pay attention to when working with slider design and photo design?

1. Seal the film.

There is no need to spread the film on the entire surface of the nail. Leave 0.5-1 mm for sealing the material from the edges of the cuticle and lateral lines. Otherwise, the top cover will not “be fixed”. It is also necessary to remove the film from the free edge of the nail. In this case, after drying the nail (see the next paragraph), use a file with a low abrasive power.

2. Smooth wrinkles and irregularities.

When leveling the film on the nail, try not to touch it with your fingers. Use a lint-free cloth, an orange stick, a silicone brush and so on.

3. Dry the water to the end.

Place the film on the second colored layer of gel polish. You may leave the sticky layer. After leveling the film on the nail, dry the nail (without a top coating for now) under the lamp for 1-2 minutes to remove any remaining water. Also, for better adhesion of the film and the color layer, you may coat the back side of the film with a primer layer.

4. Cover with the top

If necessary, cover the film with 2 top layers, drying every 2-3 minutes (although 1 layer is enough).

Follow these simple tips and you will never face any problem of slider design detachment!
