1）Insufficient curing time

Sometimes the person left before the curing time was completed. Sometimes the person was using her phone, and fail to let the gel nails to stay completely under the lamp the whole time.

很多人都問為什麼有時候Gel甲 (Soak-off Gel) 顏色會容易剝落，掉下的感覺淋淋的，其實這是關乎於Gel並沒有 照 乾！而 Gel甲照不乾的常見原因有幾種：

（1）照燈時間不足
做Gel甲時，照燈時間並沒有照足夠時間或也有客人喜歡一邊美甲一邊玩手機，很容易出現照不夠的情況！

（2）燈管老化
每部照燈機的燈泡都會設有最多使用次數，當長期使用會令其功率下降導致就算照足夠時間但都照不乾，所以要定時更換燈泡喔

（3）Gel顏色太厚
塗得太厚令到燈光難以照得完全乾透，導致面乾底半乾的狀況

（4）Gel顏色與照燈機是否匹配
要注意該產品是LED Gel還是UV Gel，用相對的照燈機，如果用錯都會發生照不乾的情況啊！

各位如果在家使用照燈機Gel甲就要注意這些事項了，或者亦可以找專業美甲店試一試由專業美甲師Gel甲效果的分別呢~

Back in a few years ago, metallic nails was quite a hit.  Just a tiny box of powder, your nails would turn into little mirrors.  You can even check out your own reflection on them.

Recently, silvery white nail is in fashion.  You only need to apply on the tip of the nails.  This way can give the right amount of shine while avoid being overstated.  The sparkling effect is psychedelic.  They look nice with in whatever you wear and wherever you go.  No wonder it is a favorite of many Office Ladies.

前幾年，有一種「金屬甲」潮流，使用一盒小小的粉狀，塗抹左手甲上，使看起來像一面鏡子，還能反光出自己的樣子。

最近，外國又流行一種銀白色粉狀，塗抹出來後有帶出雷射效果，他們普遍只塗在指尖上，”令”得來特別又不會太浮誇。這款「雷射美甲」在不同環境下能帶點幻彩感覺外還有塗了幼閃效果，而且又能襯托任何衣和場合，令不少女生或上班一族喜愛。

It is commonly believe that keeping the nails extremely short is a good hygiene practice. However, recently a male students who over cut his toenails and it himself up with chronic paronychia. His nails grew into the skin, causing the skin to swell up with disgusting pus. It basically looked like a lump growing on his toe, giving him excruciating pain. Doctors pointed out that, those who cut their nails too short, pulling nail or handling too much detergents are prone to have paronychia.

According to the news, this student usually cut his nails very short every week. He did not think much of it when his big toe swelled up and hurt. He thought it was the tight shoes that cause the pain during his basketball practices. He continued to ignored it until it started to look like a sarcoma. It hurt too much that he could not even put on his shoes. The doctor diagnosed it as chronic Paronychia.

The dermatologist said that this is a severe case. Granulation tissue has already formed on half of the big toenail. This was mainly caused by cutting the nails way too short. The nail then grew into the skin. With the presence of germs and prolonged friction, eventually it resulted in repeated infection. Apart from improper nail cutting, pooling of nails and handling too much detergent can also lead to paronychia. If the person continued to ignore the symptoms, it would gradually turn into serious chronic paronychia.

Dermatologists gave three advice to prevent Paronychia. Firstly, do not cut nails too short. Start by trimming of the shop corners. Then cut the nail across by leaving one millimeter white space on the top. Secondly, don’t wear shoes that are too tight. A good shoe should have enough space at the front allowing the toes to move. Lastly, since infection may happen if the skin is injured while clipping the nails. It is advisable to cut nails after shower.. The nails will be soft. It is easier to cut and injuries is less likely to happen.

很多人都覺得指甲要「剪到最短」才乾淨，但最近一名男學生卻因此得了慢性甲溝炎，指甲的兩側嵌進肉裡，導致紅腫流膿，甚至腳趾還像是長出了一顆肉瘤，讓男學生痛到受不了，醫生也提醒，剪指甲不當、斷拔指甲倒刺，或是長期接觸清潔劑的人都容易發生甲溝炎。

根據報導，這名男學生平常很愛乾淨，每周都會剪手腳的指甲，而且剪得非常短，某次他剪完後發現拇指有些發紅腫痛，但並沒有放在心上，此後打籃球時腳拇趾都會紅腫疼痛，甚至流膿，但男學生一直以為是鞋子不合腳導致的，長期下來他才發現腳拇趾邊緣漸漸長出一顆肉瘤，這下一碰就痛、連鞋子都穿不了，就醫後被確診為慢性甲溝炎。

皮膚科醫生表示，男學生的病況是嚴重的甲溝炎，腳大拇趾有一半的指甲已經被肉芽覆蓋，患病的主要原因是他時不正確的剪指甲習慣，如果指甲剪太短，兩側將會嵌進肉裡，長期下來使指甲跟肉產生摩擦，感染細菌後使炎症反覆發作，除了剪指甲習慣錯誤，亂拔倒刺和長期接觸洗滌劑的人都容易發生甲溝炎，而慢性甲溝炎因為初期狀況不明顯，容易被患者忽略，所以長期下來狀況會更嚴重。

醫生表示對於「預防甲溝炎」提出了三項建議，其一是指甲不要剪太短，最好是先將兩側尖角修鈍，以減少對周邊組織的刺激，指甲前端的白色也要留出一毫米，不要剪太深；其二是鞋頭不要太緊，要留出腳趾活動的空間；最後是指甲破損受傷都容易感染細菌，建議在剪指甲前先洗澡，這樣指甲變軟會更好剪，也不容易受傷。

注意如果情況較為嚴重應儘量找醫生或者專業人士處理，及早治療。
