Natural tip / natural gel / prep help!

[noodles]

Hi

I have 3 questions here so please bear with me!!

1.I did a friends nails last night with the CND performance tips in natural. I don't do natural tips very often though and always have the same problem. When done, you could still see her real nails free edge through the tips and they looked like little lines. Is there any way round this? I use gel.

2. Is there a paint on gel I could use which is a cream colour rather than white, so that I can paint on a natural looking smile line? I use NSI which only has a white so if I used a gel from another system, would it be compatable as all my other gels and products are NSI?

3. I'm still trying to sort out premature lifting so last night, instead of applying deydrator and then primer to all 5 nails in one go, I did them individually.ie deydrator on 1 nail, then primer, then apply tip, then do the next nail etc. Does anyone else do it this way round or should I do all 5 fingers in 1 go?

Many thanks

Not really ... natural is natural and what you see others do not notice. Her nails should grow out into a NNO and then it won't be a probelm.

I would do evreything in a rota not individually. Premature lifting could be down to your base layer of gel not being scrubbed into the nail plate well enough in the first palce or our prep.

Many thanks

Hope this helps.

Many thanks

then if you want you can do your application finger per finger, I do it for l&p but it's a loss of time with gel imo
