5 tricks to make gel foils last 3 weeks

The secret to a long-lasting manicure isn’t the foil — it’s the prep. A clean, degreased, lightly buffed nail keeps the sticker on for weeks.

Apply the foil from the cuticle to the tip, press the edges firmly and cure for 60–90 seconds. Seal the free edge — that’s usually where peeling starts.

Avoid hot water in the first few hours and wear gloves while washing dishes. With these simple steps, 2–3 weeks is easy.
