1. Sanitise hands
2. Apply Cuticle softener and complete Cuticle work. Wipe clean after with lint free wipe.
3. File nail and buff the top.
4. Clean with isopropyl.
5. Apply primer
6. Apply acrylic.
I have also contacted the company I completed my training with and they have suggested that it could be down to my diet or the products I am using as they just may not suit me. Am currently in the process of purchasing new products to test them out.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Acrylic powder, liquid and primer are all NSI. When you say leaving non-living tissue on the nail bed do you mean I am not pushing the cuticles back enough or not buffing enough? Sorry I can't get a clear enough picture to show the lifting.Which brand are you using? are you mixing and matching products from different ranges? Do you have photos of the nails we can see?
If you are a beginner I would suggest you are either not doing enough prep and leaving non-living tissue on the nail bed, or touching skin with the overlay product which will cause lifting

Ahh...that makes sense. Thanks for your help.Its not pushing back the cuticle or buffing, its about removing the non-living tissue from the surface of the nail plate and then ensuring the cuticle remover product is removed correctly. i.e. CND Cuticle Away has to be removed with soap and water to deactivate it, using IPA to remove it will cause lifting.
