What is a common effect of excessive hydration on nail enhancements?

The common effect of excessive hydration on nail enhancements is lifting of enhancements. When nails become overly hydrated, they can swell and alter their structure, causing the bond between the natural nail and the enhancement to weaken. This prevents proper adhesion, leading to lifting, where the enhancement begins to separate from the natural nail.

Understanding the importance of moisture levels is crucial in nail technology, as both dehydration and excessive hydration can adversely affect the durability and appearance of nail enhancements. Proper preparation of the nail surface and ensuring appropriate hydration levels are necessary steps to minimize the risk of lifting and to ensure that nail enhancements last as long as possible.
