corners wearing away of nails.

[tracey louise]

i am currently wearing gel enhancements and i like my nails to be square.anyway i am getting really annoyed at how quickly the corners are wearing away.is this normal or have i done something wrong?
is there a quick way of fixing then as it seems such a waste having to use a form all the time?
does anyone else have this problem?
i used to have it with l&p aswell but it didnt happen as quickly and it was also easier to fix.
thanks geeks.x

do you mean while you are doing other peoples nails...? i file the corners of mine on certain fingers due to the way i hold my file when working but if i wasn't working the corners are fine...

If it is while working, the only thing I could suggest would try mabey putting flexiwrap around the nails you are filing the corners off
Dont know if it'll work but worth a go x

I do the same, its the way I hold the file in my right hand and my left thumb!. It is just as easy to sculpt a new corner with gel as with L&P though. You can also get a roll of special tape to cover the nails that are getting rounded off, I forget the name of it you can see it on my video on youtube though.

thanks for your replies.some of them are from filing so i will definately get some tape but i think that some are not as one of them seems to be my ring finger on my right hand so im not sure how i did this one and i dont think i can wear tape on nearly all my fingers:lol:

The ring finger on the right hand wearing away is the way you hold the file, I always wear this edge away too! I am wearing an almond shape at the moment so it is not so noticeable.

So sorry to hijack, but Julie what brush are you using? Is it creatives?

 

[talontastic]

No, it is one I got from the local Capital store. It was a little large for me so I am back with the pro styler again.

ok thanks, it looked a bit flatter than the ultra sculptor, thats why..
