Long-Lasting Manicure: Anti-Lifting & Anti-Chipping

The client, a working mom, needed to cook, do housework, and take care of her child daily. Her manicures often lifted at the edges and chipped due to water contact and friction, with regular manicures lasting only 7-10 days. The salon formulated a full-process reinforcement plan: thoroughly filed and cleaned the nail surface to remove oil and impurities, enhancing base coat adhesion; adopted a four-layer process (base coat + builder gel + color gel + top coat), adding extra builder gel around the edges for double protection; used high-wear gel top coat and sealed the edges to reduce chipping. Based on her lifestyle, recommended weekly in-store edge top coat touch-ups. The final manicure lasted 30 days with only slight wear on the tips and no lifting, fully adapting to her high-intensity daily routine.
