Frown Problem with nail enamel - 07-08-08, 08:11 AM

First of all i want to apologize for my English, i'll try to make it as clear as i can.

Recently i'm having problems with my enamel. When i use acrylic enamel for hand paint nail art and apply clear enamel to my nails,they start to crisp and the acrylic with the enamel together is lifting from the nail after one day. Again i'm using normal enamel and acrylic paint, not powder or gel. This effect is like stick on nails when you take them away, they come out like one part. I usually paint my nails first with clear enamel then use the acrylic paint and then i apply once again the clear enamel. My boyfriends sister which is a qualified nail technician, told me to try first the acrylic paint and then the enamel but again i take the same effect. Since now i tried multiple brands of clear enamel and the only one that can stay on is the creative one that she uses, does anyone else had this problem and why? Note down that when i use color enamel everything is fine this happens only with clear ...

P.S. i also want to add that my natural nails are really very smooth and very shiny, is that a possible reason for getting a lifting of the enamel?

If you acrylic paint is too thick or not perfectly dry when you apply the top coat, this shattering affect will happen.

You should remove the shine from your natural nails and dehydrate them before applying any polish as well.
