Ski slope nails, help!

How do you ladies combat ski slope nails. I have very pronounced ski slope nails on all fingers how would you recommend applying enhancements to these. they slope even when extremely short, I have tried tips, sculpting and even plastic polygel style dual forms!

i think they do this when there natural nails are short and their isn’t much nail bed for the extensions to adhere to

the pink nail was cut super short and done with a tip and dip powder, it's grown out a fair bit so the slope is more exaggerated than on the natural nails.

It’s just how their natural nail grows

Ski slope nails are very common and it’s simply the way they grow and not a lot you can do to prevent it.
I have several clients where at least one nail grows like this and this is what I do ......
The natural nail would need to be cut as short as possible before applying a form to sculpt the enhancement. You’ll need a slightly higher apex to disguise the growth/shape of the nail.
As your nail grows out you would soak off and start again probably every 3rd infill, depending on the speed your nails grow otherwise the nail will still grow upwards and can end up separating from the enhancement at the free edge.
