hiya, I had this problem onone cliesnt, she had particularuly thin nails, and so had to make sure I had made a good apex to stop her nails from flexing underneath and causing seperation, also she worked in a nursing home and her hands werein and out o water a lot, and she wasn't wearing gloves, so with the underside of her nail being porus and being exposed to a lot of water I don't think this was helping as well, hth

Hi there thanks for your reply this lady is busy mum and admits to being compolsive hand washer and did not use gloves think i will give her a pair do u thnk she may take the hint .... not thin nails but very curved and not long so hard to wrap free edge .....think i may use trilite as if she is lifting this easily i dont know what else to do ...... what do you think ....as opti bond is not even helping yikes i wish i could keep set on her as is really frustrating and making me look and feel bad!!!! have been fixing for free when she looses a nail as she said they just pop off which i cant believe????:hug: thanks again x ccm

yea, a pair of gloves might help lol, my client was the same, think I gave her 3 free full sets as they were lasting only about a week and then the problems were starting, her nails were short as well so like you they were hard to cap at the free edge, I found that building a stronger apex fixed the problem, as her natural nails went able to bend so much underneath, wish she would change to L&P but she likes the gel, got her coming to the salon tomorro after about 3 weeks and her original glitter tipped nno is still on, so hopefully her lenghth is a bit better and will be easier to work with, I originaly thought about gettting the bonding gel, but just stuck to using the sure bond followed by the optibond around the edges, I do use a seperate dehydrator with a pad before the sure bond though just to make sure all dust n things are off the nail plate, keep on in there, I am sure you will get there, sometimes it's good to have problems likethis so we can look into our work/products and problem solve ( although I agree it can be very frustrating!! )

I have only ever used the clear builder and then added colour/glitter/paint on white afterwards, but if a client wants sculpts I always prefer to use acrylic
