A few things in combination are usually the culprit in this situation.
Thin nails plus too wet a mix ratio causing excess shrinkage of the product when polymerizing, causes the thin nail plate to be 'de-railed' and to part from the nailbed.
The real fault lies in the nails being thinned or in poor condition in the first place.
It will grow out but the technician should look after those nails more carefully in future. Use SolarOil both on and under the nail while the damage is growing out.

hi geeg , sorry i dont think ive worded my post right. what i meant was that my nails are separating from the tips that were appliedgeeg said:

So in other words, the tips that are glued on are not sticking to YOUR natural nails? Just to make sure I am clear on this.
thats right geeg - they seemed to be ok when they were first done (friday nite) but i noticed yesterday that a few of my own nails are coming away from the tipsgeeg said:

It could be that too much adhesive was used to adhere the tips. The less adhesive the better --- or maybe the adhesive has gone off?? It can you know.
It is hard to say with out knowing all the whys and wherefores, but too much adhesive is usually the problem if this happens.

I've had this with some of the nails that I do, but not all, so I'm a bit confused! With mine, they seem to come away at one side only. Do you think that my adhesive may be uneven then? I also got this with a natural overlay though. Maybe I'm not removing the shine near the edge?Peter Pan said:
