Help, I've been practicing nail extensions for a while now and I still get air bubbles under my nail extensions. I've put less adhesive on, more adhesive on, I think I'm quite quick at getting them on the nail. I cleanse, dehydrate, etch and prime.
I need your advice.
 
hi, if you are applying natural tips it could be that you are pressing it on too far....I find that if you stop as soon as you see the glue reach the end of the tip on the nail plate it stops bubbles getting trapped. If however you keep pushing it will lift slightly at the free edge causing bubbles. hope this helps!!
 
Hi

It could be that you are lifting yor tips to high after applying them. Concentrate on getting the tips to sit flush onto the very end of the nail, so almost pointing downwards towards the floor if that makes sense?! This helped me, hope it helps you too xx
 
I will certainly try all that you have advised. Thanks for your answers. I was getting very dispondant, and almost, but not quite, going to chuck it all in. But I will have another go.
