Hi does anyone know why tips cracks appear in the middle of tips?
Jules
 
im no way near being experienced enough to be your only answer but id have thought this happens when the tip had been bitten sideways.
people seem to not even realise they have their fingers in their mouth!
a bit like people always chew pens! there must be something subconcious that makes us like to fiddle/chew!
 
I'm very new and inexperienced but one thought I had is, could you be blending them too much and making them too thin? Just a thought, could be a rubbish one but worth considering.
 
Is this visible at your clients rebalance or is it happening soon after application?

This could be down to the tip being to small and cracking due to stress.
Also if you wipe your dehydrator (I use scrubfresh) over the tip it can cause it to weaken.
If a client picks at the tip from under the free edge this can cause it to crack to.
 
I have noticed it is usually after a new set
 
Ok hunyou seem to be having a few problems.
The things you have posted both your threads about are things that would have been taught to you during your training especially if it had been done with CND so you really need to get in touch with your Educator.
:hug:
 
may be down to the tip not being the correct shape for the natural nail. it puts it under stress if you have to force it to lie flat on the nail during fitting.

it is often due to the client biting the tips though. theres something curious about the way gel nails flex quite differently from acrylic. one bite too hard and CRACKKKK theyre gone !
