I'll preface my question by saying that I am a student (currently on leave from school).
Recently I purchased my first pot of hard gel; Tones Pro Builder Gel Plus; and because I'm apparently a masochist, I've been practicing with it on my own nails. Tonight in particular I just sculpted four nails. One of those was a "redo", as the gel had begun to separate from the tip I'd glued to that nail. I didn't think anything of it except that my prep must have been wrong somewhere. However, I had another tip on the index finger of my other hand, untouched by gel; because the natural nail broke off halfway up my nail bed! I meticulously prepped, applied, filed, and exactly when I had finished all of that work, it just popped right off! The whole sculpted nail! Perfectly intact! What on earth happened?? I've been doing research and I'm sure I did my prep right. Why only the nail with a tip again??? I'd really appreciate any help answering these questions. I'm honestly at a loss...
