You can choose your friends, but not your family.
Can't live with 'em, can't shoot'em without going to prison:lol:
It's very simple logic: if the others were stuck on enough to have to be 'picked off'... then that says they never slid off in the first place.
Tell-tales marks of damage (the white?) where nail plater layers were ripped off will prove they were ALL ripped off and that none 'slipped off'.
Since she's family, and not a regular client; I'd tell her off and straight up too. That as family, she really ought to show more loyalty and respect to your skills, as opposed to bad-mouthing you as she has done. PARTICULARLY when all the damage was of her own making, and not a reflection of your skills
I wouldn't take that garbage from family, not for 10seconds.
But then, not everyone is like me:lol:
We have all had to deal with the odd "client" that does something like this, and have had no choice but to bite our tongues (to some degree) but this is FAMILY and she oughta know better!
I feel your frustration.
:hug:
