Have you ever had your gel nails start lifting or chipping sooner than expected?
It’s one of those beauty emergencies that can happen to anyone — no matter how carefully you treat your nails. After all, we use our hands constantly in daily life, so avoiding small bumps or pressure is nearly impossible.

But don’t worry! There’s an easy way to handle it before your next salon visit:
Meet your new best friend — nail glue.

What to Do When Your Gel Nail Lifts or Chips

When a gel nail starts to peel or crack, applying top coat alone won’t help. In fact, it can sometimes seal in air bubbles and make things worse.

Instead, use a small amount of professional nail glue to secure the lifted edge or fill in the chipped area. This will help hold the nail in place for a few more days until you can visit your nail technician for proper maintenance.

Why Nail Glue Is a Must-Have

A high-quality nail glue is incredibly versatile — not just for gel nails, but also for:

• Strengthening acrylic nails

• Repairing small cracks in natural nails

• Quick emergency touch-ups between salon appointments

Having a small bottle of nail glue at home can save you from sudden nail mishaps — especially when you don’t have time to book an appointment right away.

Tip from Viange stylists:
Keep your hands clean and dry before applying nail glue, and avoid getting water on your nails for at least one hour after application to ensure it sets properly.
