I didn't train with Naio, i trained with a no name brand, but then got a small pot of gel after my training which is now finished.
Naio isn't a competion make they use it in their salon.
I am not using cuticle remover, i think i shall be using that from now on.
The gel overlays i did, i did a manicure before hand so i used cuticle remover for that. Maybe her nails were dry enough? i dont know
The answer is, you need further training. You can improve aesthetics in time. But you will never gain the real knowledge you need unless you go out and get it. No name brand = no training in my book. No wonder you are struggling.
If you want to make money and do sets that last ... Get trained properly.
