right sounds like what happened to me when i first started, i did tip and dip and fiberglass before i converted to EZ flow acrylic and never looked back!!
however, i still do tip and dip on some clients who have naturally long nails and want a little added strength and now have no problems, i found my problems to be done to the following;
i was not preparing the nail as much as i should, i always now make sure i have prepped the nail properly, pushed the cuticles back and removed any petrygium (i think that is how u spell it lol) from the nail plate, remove and shine and dehydrate the nail.
i also found with tip and dip i was applying the resin on abit to thick so becareful with how much u use,
i also found i was not filinf enough once they had hardened, which was causing lifting and nails to ping off!!

i hope this helps, i had the same problems and with pratice and patience you will soon get the hang of it!
