What maintenance procedure should be performed on gel nails after two weeks?

Complete removal
A buffing and reapplication of gel
Application of a new color
Using a nail file only

The correct answer is: A buffing and reapplication of gel

After two weeks, gel nails typically require a buffing and reapplication of gel to maintain their appearance and integrity. Over time, natural nail growth can create a gap between the cuticle and the gel, leading to an unattractive look and potential lifting of the gel. By buffing the surface, you help smooth out any imperfections and prepare the nail for fresh gel application. Reapplying gel not only restores the aesthetic value but also helps to reinforce the nails, ensuring they remain protected and durable. This maintenance procedure is crucial as it supports the longevity of the gel manicure, allowing the nails to maintain their shine and strength while adhering to healthy nail practices. Other options may not effectively address the wear and gap created by nail growth or could require more extensive procedures than what is needed after a couple of weeks.
