i think im doing everything right as far as dehydrating the nail but iv had a few still lifting at the side after 2weeks is that just wear and tear??

Is the lifting on just one or two nails or all of them? Also is the lifting on all the nails you do or just one clients in particular? I ask because if it's just one client who's nails are lifting it could be something she is doing or has done to her nails (inproper homecare etc). If you have done your prep properly, then maybe you are applying your product too close to the side walls which in this case will cause lifting issues. Can you explain in more detail? hth

Annmarie asked all the usual queries, the only one I can add is,
is the lifting on the same side on all nails, and is it on the left sides if you're right handed and vice versa if you're left handed?
If it is, you havent yet mastered your "backhand" application. This is when you guide the bead to the side that your not strong on ie the left side of the clients nails if you are right handed.
This can be improved once you are aware of it.

Only thing I would add is to make sure you keep your product thin and make sure its well pressed down not just feathered in too lightly x
