Why Do Gel Nails Crack? There's A Reason Behind This Annoying Phenomenon

Why Do Gel Nails Crack? There's A Reason Behind This Annoying Phenomenon

If one trend has completely revolutionized the beauty industry over the past few years, it's gel manicures. Manicures went from lasting a week at best to three or four weeks, and I for one was a complete and total convert. Although I don't always get gel manicures (I'm also all about DIY nails), when I have a big event coming up and I want my nails to look good for a few weeks at a time, I always turn to gel nails. As much as I love gel manicures, I have one pet peeve with them. Why do gel nails crack?! Even if a mani looks perfect when it's applied, for some reason my gel nails sometimes crack or split in the middle or at the edge.
