As the post says I'm struggling to get gel extensions to last. I've done a few sets to close friends and 1 seems to pop off in a few days. I use bella forma gel. I will list my steps.
Sanitise mine and clients hands.
Do all cuticle work and file nails.
I gently buff nails.
I match up tips and file to perfect size.
I wipe all nails down with nail wipe.
I glue on the tips. I file to a nice shape & size.
Again wipe nails down with nail wipe.
I lightly apply ph bond to nail only and leave a few moments.
I apply a thin base coat onto the nail and tip and cure
I apply my first layer of structure gel making sure it's very even and smooth and cure
I build up my shape and build some support onto stress areas and cure
I buff any imperfections and add any more gel if needed. I then wipe down with nail wipe and apply coloured gel or polish if desired
