Is it gel your using??

maybe your putting too many layers on so it's not curing properly only on the surface layer or maybe your client's lifestlyw doesn't suit gel.

i know a lady had gel nails and she types a lot and they cracked and got damaged from tht..hth x

Baileys, IMO try the following on your own nails and measure the results.

- lightly remove shine from tip with 240g file - careful not to remove too much of the white tip as you do not want to loose the opaqueness of the white. why? buffing is still creating a smooth surface.

- first layer, should be a thin layer of gel, make sure that you cap all edges

- build the shape of your enhancement in layers to ensure full curing, applying too thick will lead to the gel undercuring, ensuring each layer is capped. Make sure that your shape has an apex (half way between the cuticle line and the extension edge) and tappers evenly to the outline of the enhancement.

- when filing the extension edge, angle your file at the 45 degree angle so that you are not removing the gel at the end of the tip.

- finally is the gel enhancement service and length suit the activity level of your client.

Try this on yourself, If you are still having difficulties, I would suggest you contact your distributor and invest in a 1 on 1 training with their educator, your business will benefit from your new skills and you will have more confidence.

THT and have a good day, happy practicing

I have just noticed an earlier thread:lol:, where other geeks have given great advise and had similar problems. So apologies for repeating some aspects.
