What effect does moisture under nail enhancements generally have?

Moisture trapped under nail enhancements can lead to lifting, which is the separation of the enhancement from the natural nail. This occurs because the presence of moisture creates a barrier that prevents proper adhesion of the enhancement product to the natural nail surface. The moisture can come from various sources such as excessive hand washing, sweating, or moisture from the environment. When lifting occurs, it compromises the durability and longevity of the nail enhancements, leading to potential issues like chipping or peeling, and may also create an environment that is conducive to fungal or bacterial growth.

In contrast, while moisture might seem beneficial in some contexts, it does not enhance adhesion or promote nail growth, nor does it improve the aesthetics of the enhancements. In fact, lifting caused by moisture can lead to unsightly appearances and dissatisfaction with the nail service.
