Firstly I only did my Brisa conversion about 5 weeks ago, I have worn them on myself since with no problems at all, no lifting, no chipping etc
However, in the salon, I have only had 2 clients requesting gel, all others are l&p or shellac, so I'm not really getting the experience I need, but thats a whole other issue!
Both the clients I did have lost their nails within the first week. First client came in and I checked her nails and they were totally clean! No marks of damage at all, it was though she'd never had gel on in the first place :| I replaced them with l&p for her as I have confidence in my skills with that. Haven't heard back from her and that was over a week ago so assuming all is fine.
Second client was due in for a 3 week rebalance today, didn't turn up so I called her and she said all nails on one hand only had come off within the first week and she went elsewhere to get the rest removed and wants to leave them natural for now.
So I have a fail rate of 2 out of 2
I'm obviously going wrong somewhere, I've re-capped over my procedure, following what I was taught and also the CND dvd and can't see what I've missed. From the first clients nails which I saw it suggests that the gel was never fully adhered to the nail plate in the first place but I know I followed PREP, Brisa Bond for 10 seconds, followed by 2 min cure for each of white and pink, then 2 mins for Brisa Gloss which I used to fully encase the enhancement.
Any ideas please ???
