Please help with Lifting

[raya]

hi Gi Gi, (or anyone who can help me)
ca you help me. i am still struggling with my nails as they keep lifting around cuticle and side almost like it hasnt adhered properly tothe nail, although they look ok when doing a new set but the maintenance appt's have been a nightmare which has bee so depressing!

i do alot of beauty stuff but need to master these bloody nails before i go insane and dont want to give up (not an option)!

can you just clarify, after reading your book which is so good, the push and pull procedure which i think this is where im going wrong, firstly i havent been doing it!! but have been shown this before.

zone 2 - my sides are the problem! press the bead out to side with flag of brush? i dont understand how you do the push and pull on sides as dont you want to flatten out your product in this area?

am i making any sense?

im such an idiot, i have your book so should be enough - any help you could give me would be so helpful, will keep practising this technique as i know this is the answer to my problemsxx

Not Gigi I'm afraid, not even close, but it sounds as it you could do with an extra bit of one to one training. It would really benefit you to have a day with an educator to 'show' you how to do this.

Are you sure you are prepping properly and thoroughly enough? If so then book yourself in for a day and your problems will be a thing of the past!

If your message is specifically for one person then it should be done as a Private Message. If you want it open to others then dont address it specifically for one person as others may think they cant answer and help you.

I edited the title in the hope you will get more responses.

Try to work like on this video - YouTube - ???????? ?????.

Hope it help you.

On that video link, does the lady doing the nails bush the nail plae with her brush before she applies the bead? I thought from reading Geeg's book and from reading here that it is not good practice to put monomer onto the bare nail plate as it can lead to over exposure? I am only still learning though so could someone please advise

 

[nuki]

She is useing Nfu monomer, in that system you can use monomer like ultrabond

Thanks for that hun Shall do some reading on the Nfu-Oh monomers and stuff It is so confusing sometimes because the things you read in one place are contradicted in another

As the poster is not (presumably) using Nfu but according to her profile is using EZ Flow, it is most likely to be confusing and potentially hazardous to advise that she uses her monomer like a "bonder".

The lady should be following her manufacturers instructions as far as the use of the product. As in mix ratio, use of primers, and especially about the use of neat monomer etc.
