I'm not sure exactly what you're saying is wrong with your side walls, are they too thick or too thin?

Side walls need to be thin and a really light touch with your brush is necessary also.
Place your bead in Z2. Press a small amount of the bead out to the right side wall and when close but not touching brush gently to smooth out and down to Z1. Then take your brush and stroke again in a manner that guides the product back towards the centre of the nail. Then press a small amount of the left over bead out to the left side wall and when close but not touching brush gently to smooth out and down to Z1. Then take your brush and stroke again in a manner that guides the product back towards the centre of then nail. Working with this technique builds a strong spine of product in the centre of the nail for strength and longevity.

What I mean is that when stroking from north to south, you can also put pressure on the hairs of the brush that also push the product to the east or west.
Imagine using your hand to move a mound of sand from east to west. You would use the edge of your palm and sort of twist your hand so that you pushed the sand over to the left. Well you do that with your brush with the bead.
