I have been searching for weeks for the answer as to why my gel manicure cracks every single time, and this is the closest I have come to finding anyone who was even having the same experience. I bought the Gelish soak off starter kit, and for the white tips (only like french manicures) I saw the bottle of Gelish French white (just noticed today for the first time that the box says Hard Gel), so I got that. I do have very thin nails, and am finding that the shorter I keep them, the less the cracking, but it still happens. I'm very good about keeping them out of water. I bought the structure gel, and found that they seemed to crack sooner! So the question is, is the cracking because I am using the soak off products for the foundation and top coat, but the hard gel for the white? Has anyone come up with a successful solution for people that have this constant cracking problem?
