How to restore nails after gel polish at home?

Gel Polish is one of the most popular products of the nail industry and allows you to implement the most unusual design solutions. However, along with the excellent decorative properties and high durability of the coating, the use of gel polishes significantly thinns the nail plate. This is due not so much to the impact of the tool itself, as with the detrimental consequences of its removal from the nails.

Damaged nails can be the result of the inept work of an inexperienced master who has sanded the plate too deeply, which has made it very thin and fragile. Ideally, polishing should affect only the very top, shiny surface of the nail, and create only a slight roughness necessary for better adhesion to the gel polish. The second, not less common reason is the use of improvised means to remove gel polish at home.

The use of acetone not only adversely affects the nail itself, but also has a drying effect on the entire periungual zone. As a result of this barbaric attitude, the structure of the nail suffers greatly, and it begins to partially collapse.
