fill lines showing - help!!

[winemom]

During the refill visit, I first file down any lifting of acrylic and slightly buff natural nail. I do my best to blend down the fill line but am finding that the line darkens up after I refill the acrylic. Before I apply new acrylic I do scrub with scrubfresh, apply bondaid, and then one coat of primer. Does anyone know why the lines are showing up? I asked a coworker and she said to just take the whole tip off and start fresh, but I don't think thats necessary. Also... what is the best primer out there? Thanks geeks for your help.

Hey! you say you are using scrubfresh? Does that mean you use CND for L+P also? If so you should be using their primmer as it is designed for their system, personnally I would never mix parts of systems. Also for lift pron client use some nailfresh BEFORE scrubfresh, them primmer if needed.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I have the same problem with gels but the gel underneath is lighter making the nail plate white-ish. Any suggestions could it be the way we're filing?

You need to file with a 240 until the line has dissapeard....fill lines are a sign of left over lifting...even if its just a little bit....it has to be completely removed before applying product.

A good trick i've learned to avoid left over lifting is to file TOWARDS the lifting (This means filing on the part that is not lifted and towards the lifted part). Hope i made sense. This is because if you file back and foward you will lift more product.

Prionace is correct. A fill line is really just a sliver edge of lifting being left behind. Because of the curvature of the enhancement you can't really just file the lift off, you need to file up to where the lifting starts.
