NSI Elation Tip Problems

[xxSaffronxx]

Hi All

I am trying to use NSI Elation tips and im using the NSI polybond glue to go with it.
I am also using NSI balance gel over the tips.

But im getting frustrated as the tips seem to start lifting after a week. I am prepping the natural nail properly with a gentle buff and dehydrator and then balance bond primer.

Any ideas??

is it just the tips that are lifting or the whole enhancement? are they the right size tips for the finger?

They should be the right size - i measure before i put them on and i cut out the well.

Its the tip that starts lifting at first but then i fiddle with it and then the gel starts to lift

Are you making sure that the adhesive is placed right from edge to edge on the tip and also on the natural nail.....and that you are holding the ears down enough...?? then also make sure that you are capping the free edge and covering ALL of the tip in your product.

I used to be so cautious about leaving a gap to prevent lifting that i had left tiny bits of the tip at the sides uncovered...the adhesive breaks down and hey presto...

Hmmm after reading your post im thinking maybe i am not being as careful as i thought. Will try it again at the weekend and see how i get on.
I only put the glue on the natural nail and not the tip - maybe that will help
I know that near the ears i dont have much gel there - but i didnt want to put too much on either as it is close the the skin and this too will cause the gel to lift.

Thanks! xx
