Cashmere L Oxygene: Fix Nail Polish Peeling

Quick answer

Nail polish peeling with L'Oxygene usually comes from oily nail beds or skipping the base coat. Properly degreasing the nails and using a thin application of Cashmere can resolve the issue.

Diagnosis & fix for peeling L'Oxygene polish

• Symptom: The polish lifts or peels off in one piece within 1-3 days, especially around the free edge or cuticle area.
• Likely cause: Natural nail oils, residual cuticle oil, or moisture left on the nail plate before application. L'Oxygene's breathable formula cannot bond through these barriers. Do not apply polish right after washing hands or using cuticle oil. Wait 30 minutes or wipe with a lint-free pad soaked in nail polish remover to degrease.
• Corrective action: 1) Buff the nail surface lightly to remove shine. 2) Wipe each nail with a cotton pad soaked in acetone-free remover to strip oils. 3) Apply a thin base coat (allow 2 minutes to dry). 4) Apply two thin coats of Cashmere, letting each dry fully. 5) Seal with a top coat, wrapping the free edge. If peeling persists after 3 attempts, consider a different base coat or consult a nail technician about nail plate health.
• When to stop or choose another option: If your nails are naturally very oily or you have a medical condition affecting nail adhesion, L'Oxygene may not be the best choice. In that case, look for a traditional solvent-based polish that uses stronger chemical adhesion.
