Thank you all so much for the help and ideas you gave me about my nieces nails. She could not keep nail polish on no matter what I did. Well I did a french manicure on her on friday and it is still on. I took the shine off her nail gently with a 240grit and then used some scrub fresh, it has worked a treat. So thank all very much.:hug:

Glad it worked for you and for your niece.

For nail enamel to last, you always have to exfoliate the surface of the nail gently and 'squeak' the nails first and there is nothing better to do it with than CND Scrub Fresh unless it is CND Nail Fresh :lol:

I did wipe over her nails with acetone free nail polish remover, which is how I was taught to do it. But I have only been training in acrylics for a few weeks so never thought about scrub fresh.

NOW YOU KNOW ONE OF THE PROFESSIONAL TRICKS OF THE TRADE.

You need to remove oil from the nail plate. Often NAR has oils in it!!

Thank you and I hope I can be as good as some of the techs on here.
