What is one of the main risks associated with improperly applied nail enhancements?

Improperly applied nail enhancements can lead to nail lifting or separation from the nail bed, which is a significant concern for both the health of the natural nail and the overall appearance of the manicure. This occurs when the enhancement is not securely bonded to the natural nail, often due to inadequate preparation of the nail surface or improper application techniques.

When lifting happens, it opens up gaps between the enhancement and the natural nail, creating a space where moisture and bacteria can accumulate. This can potentially lead to infections or other complications, and may also compromise the integrity of the natural nail structure.

In addition to health risks, nail lifting can lead to aesthetic issues where the enhancements appear uneven or unsightly. This underscores the importance of proper techniques and adherence to safety protocols in nail enhancement applications to maintain both the client's health and the quality of the service provided.
