    Question about Acrylics

    lifting is caused mainly by unsanitised nails or cuticle matter left on the nail bed, just be sure to thoroughly rid the nail bed of any dust, cuticle etc before applying the acrylic, and make sure you wipe over with an alchohol scrub recomended by your distributor xx
