What did or didn't you do that you did with your original set? Most of the time problems are due to using too much product around the cuticle and lateral fold areas. This leads to lifting....

Also how much should i be charging for a set and for overlays??

Well you need to look at your area and your expertise. You have chosen a product that is not only award winning but well known. You can't afford to go cheap but equally you can't go too expensive if your skill level isn't up to par.

Also can you tell me if i am doing L&P with a Gel top coat do i have to use the get white to or dose the white of the L&P show thur???

Well if you are use the Gloss then it's clear so the white will show through. Personally, I would get out the Koala 1200 side and use WITH SolarOil. Then I would remove the oil with Scrubfresh and grab a Girlfreind and shine her up!! Sometimes adding a gel gloss to L+P can make them look bulky if you have done then a little too thick in the first instance!

Sorry have lots of questions...

hope this has helped!:!::idea:

If the lifting is at the free edge, then When doing an overlay with gel, you initially need to extend the gel a tiny bit further than the free edge of the nail (use a form). This caps the nail and protects the free edge from damage.

I found that in my early days lifting occoured mostly due to poor preparation of the natural nail prior to aplication.
