She also said she has tried acrylic, gel and fibreglass but nothing ever stays on...she doesn't really pick at her nails, they just 'flick off', or they start to lift and she can flick them off in one go...there is never any product left on her nails, it come off clean in one go???

Her skin and hair isn't dry or oily...so I had a go at doing a natural gel overlay and sure enough, a couple of days later only 3 out of 8 (we left the thumbs due to recent 'car door' damage) nails have gel still on them, the others are completely free of product?

Any ideas.....and any advice on what might work?
