How To Fix Acrylic Nails That Won't Stay On

Introduction

Acrylic nails are a popular choice for those who want long-lasting, beautiful nails. However, sometimes acrylic nails can pop off or lift, which can be frustrating and unsightly. If you're having this problem, there are a few things you can do to fix it.

Why Do Acrylic Nails Fall Off?

There are several reasons why acrylic nails might fall off. * **Improper nail preparation:** The nail surface must be properly cleansed and buffed to create a rough texture for better adhesion. If the nail surface is not properly prepared, the acrylic will not adhere properly and will be more likely to pop off. * **Insufficient nail glue:** Not using enough nail glue or applying it improperly can also cause acrylic nails to fall off. The nail glue should be applied evenly to the entire nail surface, and it should be allowed to dry completely before applying the acrylic. * **Natural nail growth:** As your natural nails grow out, the acrylic nails can become loose and start to lift. This is normal, and it can be fixed by having the acrylic nails filled in.
