Unless you work at 'Lifting nails 4 U salon and Amway club' you will be a bit of a fan of nail preparation.

That’s because the sole purpose of prepping the nail plate is to remove oil, moisture and contamination that could otherwise guarantee your clients nails flip off.Click here to read the entire tutorial

Hi all,

I have just done a foundation course in L&P at Creative in London with the lovely Ketan, and applied my first set of tips finished in the L&P french. My model called today to say the thumb has started to lift at the edge by the nail wall. Would this be caused by incorrect prep or not applying enough product near to the nail wall? I go back to Creative in two weeks for the rebalance day 4, but want to try and correct the lifting before then.

thanks for your help

Wow that was amazing to read. I did my training years ago and i was taught to etch the nail plate really well for the tip to adhere better. No wonder i have most clients with lifting including my own. I have just started working again from home and am having problems getting clients but this information really helps alot. I can let my nails grow back now due to excessive filing they are not in good condition and use your wonderful advise to redo my own nails and also for my few clients and hopefully all the new ones i shall get after reading this tutoriol. WELL DONE THIS IS FANTASTIC.

Thanks a million for your help BUT..... At college and we have a great teacher who does remove shine going over nail plate more than once on each stroke. Is this ok??? The great book says the same as you.

I just wanted to say thanks for the refresher! I love how you are so detailed and discriptive with your instuctions. Again a great thread...

boy you sure know your stuff.. thank you!

Excellent Tutorial. Looking to buy scrubfresh today as some of my customers extensions seem to 'ping' off. One lady in particular. To look at her nail plates you wouldn't know an extension had been put on. Just qualified as nail tech so noew to the game. Hoping scrub fresh will help!

Great tutorial i think it exlains everything perfectly.
