Tools and techniques that quality nail technicians use will remove the topcoat more thoroughly, allowing acetone to soak color gel quicker," Urbina says. To help your nails recover after peeling gel off, moisturizing is still key. Try to stop picking at your nails and the skin around them while they both heal. Since picking off gel weakens the nail, it'll take a while for your nails to grow back to their regular strength.
So, if you do pick, it's not the end of the world. Just remember to hold off if you can, and always take time to moisturize and protect your hands to keep your nails looking fresh.
For every eight weeks of gel polish, give your nails a one- to two-week break. In that timeframe, give your nails a little extra TLC. Getting a standard manicure with regular polish will end up being the least damaging to your nails. Unlike gel nail polish, it doesn't require abrasive removal and doesn't suffocate the nail bed.

Gel polish is porous so any chemicals, especially cleaning ones, can get into the polish and weaken its ties. This can cause peels, lifting and cracking. Think: if it can lift sticky and baked on stuff, it can lift cured gel polish. It can also dull or stain your nails. What is your daily routine? Do you handle a lot of paper, type a lot, use your nails to pick or scratch at things? These all weaken the gel polish and can dry out your nails.
Keep a top coat on hand to touch up dull areas once a week to keep them lasting longer. If its peeling, are you peeling them off?

If you have an older lamp, you may need to get the bulbs replaced, or just replace the lamp entirely. Cuticle oil is essential for healthy nail growth and can help to prevent lifting! Ensure it is only applied after the gel polish is complete though, as the oils may cause lifting if applied early.

If your nail chips, go ahead and patch it up when you have a free moment. File the chip and seal it off with your topcoat. This should prevent your gel polish from peeling at the chip.
A gel manicure has many layers to it.
