Can anyone tell me how you spot lifting with a cover pink builder gel. I infilled my sister in laws nails 2 weeks ago and all looked ok at the time but we had a cover pink gel on them. I couldn’t see any visible lifting after I filed them down ready for prep but she has had 1 nail pop off whole so am thinking there was likely some lifting I couldn’t see. We also had another come off whole 2 weeks before that but she did catch that one on something however would think it would still have broke rather than come off in one.
I am feeling my options are....file thinner before infill or lay down a clear builder base first but I find this adds bulk when then trying to get enough opacity of a cover pink in top. Also I’d have to file quite thin to see lifting in the apex area and 1 that might be unnecessary and 2 I think filing down too thin might cause a breakdown of that base layer as builder gel needs to be on the thicker side in each layer.
the original set I’ve infilled must be 7 weeks old and it’s a soak off builder in a bottle product rather than a hard gel so I don’t know if that makes a difference.
Any advice would be greatly welcome.
I also spend way too long on prep so I don’t think that is the issue as such but everything is a possibility
