I have a few question & would like to pick your brains ... I have read a few other threads & tutorials and came up with my own but I would like other opinions.
After a full set is applied (using Star Nails trained in VTCT) after a week or earlier the tips lift and crack from the side walls. No trauma has been caused.
Also after a full set is applied the gel cracks, crumbles & lifts from as little as 12 hours to the maximum of less than a week. Also been told no trauma has been caused.
I prep as follows cuticle remover, gently remove nail shine & dehydrate, apply tips (blend & shape) then dehydrate again. Then apply gel etc
The gel is not touching side walls or any part of living tissue. All my implements are sterilised so I hope they are not contaminated but this is happening to every set.
I only finished my VTCT on May & have decided to continue with an induction course with Creative but cannot until October time-ish!
Sorry its long winded ... anyone got any thoughts or tips they can share with me please?:hug:
