I use cnd shellac so there is no primer used.
My prep is excellent , I push cuticles back and then use a curette to get any cuticle the eye can't see and I always scrub the nail with scrub fresh
I do have a vague recollection of nails not lasting that well last winter so it is possible because the nails have deteriorated it could be the cause. I just want to make sure it's nothing I'm doing
It's more information maybe will help

Top Question #2
Q: Why is Shellac peeling on some of my clients?
A: Proper Preparation, Application, Curing, Home Maintenance
1. Preparation
The first step is to make sure you are doing proper P.E.P.
P.E.P. includes
P-erform Mini Manicure = Removing the Cuticle off the nail plate
E-liminate Surface Contaminants = ScrubFresh
P-Purify Nail Plate = ScrubFresh
Note: If your client experiences natural nail delamination (peeling)
Lightly buff the area with a 240 grit or higher buffer. If there is excessive delamination discontinue the service until the nail grow out (thus avoiding damaging the natural nail with too much buffing).
Please refer to the Shellac Step-by-Step directions for detailed P.E.P., application and removal techniques
2. Application - Thin is best!!!
SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE the bottle of Shellac
With each layer of Shellac, apply it thin.
Keep a tiny free margin around the cuticle and sidewall areas.
Cap the extension edge with each layer of Shellac
3. Curing
Stick with the system - Use the CND UV Lamp
Cure each layer
Base Coat = 10 sec
Color Coat = 2 min
Top Coat = 2 min
4. Home Maintenance
Solar Oil -Keeps natural nails, nail color and nail enhancements tough and flexible. Use daily!
