Teething issues with PopIts

[jenny2]

Hi guys, i know there has been an awful lot of talk on here recently about poppits , and probably what issues i have recently had have already been covered in anouther topic.:green:
They are amazin but there is a butt, which i hope through this thread i can remedy. Up to press i have completed five sets one of which i did on myself.
My third set is in my album took 35 min , went on like a dream and looked fantastic.
I have done two sets today and have come across a few problems, which have only just shown them selves in my work.

Firstly do these poppits come in larger sizes, as i am finding that some nails are just ment to be done with poppits and then there is ladies with larger nail plates that are just a night mare.

Obviously using any new product there are teething and learning curves, but this one is throwing me. Some of the poppits just do not fit correctly on every persons nails. The largest one did not cover my ladies thumb properly leaving a ridge line, So i had to buff down and re - aply acrylic by hand. Also even when correctly sized some times you get a line that runs around the nail bed and plate that is slightly raised in comparrison to the rest of the finish, it looks like a mould line were the poppit sits.
So my question is, is there away around this, or is it that some nail types just do not suit this system, or is there bigger poppits for this type of nail. Sorry for all the questions, but u only learn by asking and hopefully some one can help me out who has already got round these issues.

forgot to mention, i cut the skirt off, but still getting raised edge at the free edge not sure why, but then on others not a thing. But biggest issue do they come in xxx large x

No ... they do not come in larger sizes and NO they will not be coming in larger sizes!

If you get a line at the edge then just buff it smooth when you are done. It's no big deal ... takes 2 seconds and you don't even have to high shine as any little scratches are hidden in the sidewalls.

Success is all down to the amount of product you put into the PopIt, and the amount of pressure you put ON the PopIt and correct sizing. If all these things are right, then the finished product is perfect.

I have been using PopIts extensively for over a year on all sorts of people and haven't had the sizing problems you have had. You must have clients with some mighty big nails. But if you come across someone with exceptionally large nails then just do those ones by hand.

This lady that i do usually has the x large on her thumb, so hence the need for a slightly bigger poppit. May be they will come with time or may be not as the case maybe. It is weird because my last set was amazing, did file in as u said was just really hard as the ridge was so close to the skin. I will try a couple of different techniques with this lady as love poppits, its like anything i soppose not every person is the same and hence sometimes things arrise that we will learn by as we go alongxxx

Exactly ... just the same as hand made nails ... sometimes you love your work and sometimes you don't love it as much.

If you have done some amazng full sets then you will do more. The more you do the better you will get. Soon you will 'own' them and be the expert. It takes time to develop the 'eye' and the 'touch'. :hug:
