Gel nails advice

[EmmaLou1989]

Hi everyone!
I'm still practicing with gel nails but really need advice.
The end result looks lovely but they are not lasting any more than afew days
What can I do to make sure they last as long as they should? At the moment I have practice gels (not the best but not the worst) is it worth investing in a particular brand? They all seem so expensive!
Any advice would be really appreciated.

It is lifting and chipping at the ends

Are you capping the free edge?

What brand are you using at the moment? You'll find a quality brand will often offer training in their particular brand and you should see good results then. It may be a brand issue.

Thank you so much this is really helpful! I wasn't capping the free edge. I'll start doing this from now on, thank you! X
