Solutions for Problem Nails: Pro Hacks for Ridges, Peeling & More
Not every nail is naturally perfect – and that’s completely normal. Many clients who come for a manicure have what we call “problem nails.” These may include ridges in the nail plate, peeling, brittle or soft nails, deformities, or irregular nail growth. For aspiring nail technicians, working with such nails can be a challenge. That’s why, at MONLIS Schule in Munich, we place great emphasis on equipping our students not only with standard techniques but also with specialized knowledge for treating difficult nails.
A common issue is longitudinal ridges, which can be caused by aging, genetics, or dehydration. These surface irregularities can affect the overall look of a manicure if not properly treated. The trick here lies in proper preparation: gentle buffing smooths out the surface without overly thinning the nail plate. At MONLIS Schule, we recommend using elastic, self-leveling base coats that visually fill in the ridges and create an even foundation, perfect for color polish or gel.
Another frequent problem is peeling or splitting nails. This type of nail damage is often the result of mechanical stress, improper care, or excessive filing. In this case, preserving and strengthening the natural nail is key. At MONLIS, we teach the targeted use of rubber bases or keratin-enriched products that act as a protective barrier. Regular use of nourishing cuticle oils and intense moisturizing serums is also a crucial part of our care recommendations.
Soft, thin nails require a completely different approach. The priority here is stability – without adding too much weight. In our training at MONLIS, we demonstrate how to achieve maximum strength with minimal material. Building up the nail with ultra-light structure bases combined with UV polish provides protection and durability without stressing the natural nail.
Many underestimate the importance of the correct filing angle and gentle technique when shortening and shaping – especially for weakened nails. Incorrect filing can not only ruin the shape but also cause the nail layers to split. In our classes, you’ll learn how to work with precision, respect the natural structure of the nail, and avoid damage through proper technique.
Deformed nails, such as spoon-shaped or hook-like nails, require a particularly sensitive approach. Here, it's not just about aesthetics – there are also health considerations. At MONLIS, we teach how to use special modeling techniques and optical corrections to balance the nail’s appearance without overburdening it. Choosing the right products is also essential – depending on the nail’s condition, we help determine which base, gel, or polish is best suited.
A major focus in our curriculum is nail care as prevention. We teach our students how to educate clients on proper home care to prevent future damage. This includes using pH-neutral soaps, applying cuticle oil correctly, protecting nails from cold weather and cleaning agents, and maintaining regular manicure appointments. Only by understanding the causes can long-term improvements be made.
We also show how to conduct professional nail analysis and create customized treatment plans. Every nail is different, and with problem nails in particular, it’s essential to assess the situation thoroughly. At MONLIS Schule, you’ll learn how to analyze nail structure, nail bed condition, growth patterns, and the state of the surrounding skin – all of which guide your treatment approach.
Working with problem nails is considered one of the highest disciplines in nail design – but with the right knowledge, it becomes one of your greatest strengths. Those who can confidently handle difficult cases earn trust and stand out as true professionals in the industry.
At MONLIS Schule in Munich, we teach you not only techniques but also the sensitivity needed to work successfully with every nail type. Whether it’s ridges, peeling, or deformities – with our expert tips and practical solutions, you’ll become a trusted specialist for even the most demanding nails.
