I am doing an NVQ level 2 in Nail Services. I do understand that any new skill can take a while go get the hang of, and just recently my confidence was starting to improve as the gel nail extensions that I was doing were improving.
Then..... I put on a full set of Gel extensions on my niece on Tuesday evening and have just found that that only 2 days later two have split......how the hell has that happened, it has never happened to me before, she assures me that she wasnt doing anything to cause this.......therefore it must be me.
Let me run you through what I do.....
File natural nail and tidy cuticle area
Remove shine from natural nail
Apply tip have been using the white tips which I find much better
Cut to size and file
NSI pure plus to dehydrate nail I do spend approx 10 seconds on each nail doing this as I did read this on here recently
NSI primer plus painted on the whole nail including extension
1st layer of NSI builder gel thin
cure
2nd layer NSI builder gel bit thicker ensuring I start in the middle of the nail to achieve the C shape
cure
Wipe off gel
feel shape
buff with white block and remove any imperfections should there be any to ensure the perfect C shape
3rd layer NSI finish gel
Cure
Wipe off gel
Please, please, please help me Ive got another two booked in tomorrow, would love to know where I am going wrong, everyone on here says about their Gel nails lasting 2-3 weeks, I get excited when mine last 3 days or more.
SHOULD I JUST THROW IN THE TOWEL :Scared::Scared::Scared:
