Weeks of chip-less wear and a shine factor that just won't quit? The beauty of a gel manicureВ can't be beat. The aftermath, however, isn't pretty. Over time, the long-lasting mani can leave your nails thin, flimsy, and peeling. Ready to give your fingertips a much-needed lacquer break and nurse them back to their once-healthy state? Keep reading for the post-gel rehab plan you so desperately need!
Tip 1: Break Out the Buffer
Gentle buffing evens out the nail plate to prevent further peeling. A little buffing action once or twice a week also increases blood circulation, so new, healthy nails can grow back quicker.

Your nails may be incredibly fragile right now. One little nick could lead to a painful tear. Until your nails recover, keep them short and slightly rounded (which is the strongest shape). Now more than ever, be careful to only file your nails in one direction-not back and forth. And use a fine-grit file to avoid snagging.
Tip 3: Soak Weekly
Weekly soaks also help in the recovery process and they're super simple to DIY. Try dunking your fingertips into a moisturizing bath of warm olive oil for 10 minutes. You can also empty a vitamin E capsule into soak for added strengthening power. Whole milk, which is rich in moisture-replenishing fats, is another good option.
Tip 4: Take a Break From the Polish
Perhaps most importantly, when in gel recovery mode, try to take some time off before your next trip to the nail salon. If you can't wait to get something on your nails, try swiping on a keratin treatment like this one from CND.

You are wrong. I can defend my position. Write to me in PM, we will handle it.
By what not bad topic
Right! Agreed!
what would we do without your excellent idea
I can not participate now in discussion - it is very occupied. I will return - I will necessarily express the opinion.
Clearly, thanks for the help in this question.
Nothing serious, I think.
