Mine was lifting at the cuticle and sidewalls and now I converted to EzFlow I am struggling again. I thought I had that issue licked but I guess I need a 121 if I don't fix it soon. What was yours?
What was your hardest problem to overcome???

its always been nerves with me.
i am not the type of person who can bumble along with a few key words and the rest bull sh*t.
adding to my knowledge with training and research is how i tackle this.
knowing what i'm doing provides me with confidence and the rest improves with it.

Timing, I take far too long. :/
Thinking about the liftng issue you are exeriencing though, could it be because you still don't have your mix ratio correct after your change to Ezflow? I'd bet money on it LOL xx

I am just the same Susan, I am fine working on clients etc., but put me in a classroom situation and I seem to go to pieces.
It does my head in, especially when I know I can do it, but I am determined that this is not going to get to me, it's all in my mind! Where are the wee men in white coats! :lol:

Timing, especially on rebalances. I got totally stuck until I went for a 121, went through everything from start to finish and voila! It halved overnight.
Ditto for me... :irked:

Consistency and ratio. I prob still havent actually over come the consistency with smile lines some days fab some days Ratio I have nailed but it took ages for me to pick up the correct bead for the job and sometimes I still pick up a golf ball for the pinkie!!!

I still have one hell of a time with Pink and Whites.
I am never happy with the ones I do even though clients think they are fab. Part of it, as I've said before, is I despise white/whites (cos they look fake to me) and part of it is the whole issue with the mix ratio being different on the white then the pink. Now that I do it reverse its much easier as far as the mix ratio, and it also alleviates my stress about apex placement. I also have been able to convince clients to go for a more natural look and I do love doing that. I still haven't figured out why the white polymer seems to be such a bear for me (EZ Flow)....but I'm working on it.
I also have issues with tips. I'm not a tip kind of tech....but most people prefer it to sculpts (here) and it *is* quicker. Popits have made the tipping issues easier.

I think timing also (we are all such perfectionists arn't we?)
I do all esthetics at my spa and I think it would be a lot easier for me if I had more gel clients (3 or 4 a day), but alas I only have maybe one a day or less since I am very busy with all other services (mostly skincare).
I need to be patient though, practice makes perfect

Maybe you're just trying to get too near hun?
You gotta know the way to get near enough but not too much...hard to describe...easier to show hun x
Keep checking your mix ratios so that you aren't working too wet...maybe??
