If you have been doing nails for a year, and they still lift after a week, then it does sound as though you could do with some more training.
Mercia products are quite a low end brand available in wholesalers (as far as I am aware), have you considered going to one of the product companies and doing a conversion day with them and their products.

Then at least you would be able to get ongoing technical support from them.

You can get very isolated out their doing nails on your own, and it is always good to get some help and support

Have a look over this tutorial and see if it can give you a few pointers as to what you are doing or not doing right...http://www.salongeek.com/nail-application/28667-sculpting-pink-whites-uv-sculpting-gel.html

thank you, and i have taught about it and have been looking for a suitable one, i had been getting at least two or three weeks out of them but i dont know what i have been doing wrong! the finishing look is good so the application is good so its something im doing before applying the gels so im thinking it cud have been the accetone but sur that drys out the nails so it cant be that so now im thinking im not filing the natural nail enough
