My post got changed, I actually use l&p Nsi not gel!
My prep is...
Clip nails & file to oval.
Push back cuticles
White block over all nails
Dehydrate
Apply tips
Remove shine from tips
Dehydrate & primer
Apply l&p
All nsi products
Am I missing something?xx
There are a couple of things I see...and I'm sorry to ask again but it really can/does make a difference but could you please name all the products you are using, because sometimes people think they are using the correct product and they are not.
What cuticle remover do you use, if any?
What about training? what have you completed or completing?
Are you 100% positive you are not touching the surrounding skin with product?
What about your mix ratio, do you feel it's ok or not?
What I see that you have missed as a crucial step is a thorough prep, just using a pusher and a white block will never give you a thorough prep, you must use some type of cuticle remover and if you use all NSI products, I highly recommend NSI Vanish and use Cleanse to remove and cleanse nail completely, then you can dehydrate the nail.
There is usually no need to dehydrate twice, if you are careful and do not touch the nail after you have prepped, there is no need to do it twice but if you are worried about this, then just do one nail at a time as you go but bear in mind, this will add time to your service time.
I don't see anywhere where you use a brush to remove dust before cleansing/dehydrating, I feel you get a much better result if you use a brush to remove the bulk and then use Cleanse to clean of dust etc.
A wipe and cleanse is not a miracle worker, if you only use a wipe and Cleanse to remove all your prep dust, you will be leaving some behind and your doomed before you even start.
That's just a couple of quick issues I can see but I'll wait until I hear what products you are actually using before I say any more. Could you also say what line of L&P you use from NSI? Is your liquid the same line as your powder?
What primer are you using?
NSI have different lines, it helps to know which ones you are using and if you are using different ones in the one service.
