Hi guys, I am new so please be gentle. I’ve found this forum so extremely helpful but feeling confused with those who use cuticle remover before l&p or gel polish. I was taught to do dry cuticle work as using anything else will make the nail plate oily and will cause lifting. However first few set of l&p I have done have only lasted a few days. I’ve trawled the forum for advice to prevent lifting and a lot mention the prep work. When I trained we didn’t go into losds of detail about the prep so feeling lost! We were taught dry cuticle work, pushing back and using scraper, roughing the nail plate using a white block and then using acid free primer. Nothing about dehydrator or using cuticle remover and wondering if this is where I’m going wrong? Also we were taught to use a sanitizer spray to remove dust and debris, am I better using acetone? Thanks in advance if you got this far, I’ve spent a ton of money and now second guessing myself.
