Slightly file surface to help polish adhere (very important). Make sure nails are properly cleansed using appropriate cleanser to remove any oil. Make sure every layer of gel is cured for the correct time as stated by the manufacturer.

It baffles me as its only 1 or 2 and only when on original nails not on fake nails

My daughter has had gel manicures at many places. All of them are lifting badly or come off completely after 3 - 4 days. Soneone once suggested that maybe she just produces a lot of oil & there's probably no way round it. Not sure what the answer is only what I mentioned in last post.
Please let me know if you find the answer. Good luck.

Can she go back to her training provider? Perhaps they can give her more support.

Many factors affect adhesion and longevity, so it's hard for us to say what's going wrong without seeing what she's doing. Could you record her doing one nail from start to finish including prep ? And maybe we can spot it

Peeling almost always indicates a problem with curing. Is she using the lamp recommended by the manufacturer? Lamp mismatch can cause inconsistent curing. Another problem might be the dreaded "clench." Clients often clench their hand on the bottom rather than laying it flat in the lamp, again, causing inconsistent cures. She should check their positioning in the lamp.

BTW, filing or buffing the natural nail is not always necessary with gel polish, and can damage the nails. Many brands say it is optional and CND Shellac makes a marketing point of not having to buff.

Quality brands offer lots of support and conversion courses to ensure their products are being applied properly and you get the best out of their system. Each brand is different so it may just be a little tweak needed. Reach out to the brand, they should support you.
