I'm having some problems with some of my clients' nails lately and i have no idea what's going on, so i thought maybe someone might be able to give me a clue. I work with pronails gels and usually my clients have minimal lifting considering they like to go 4-6 weeks between fills. But all of a sudden some of them are getting a lot of lifting, while others are having no problems. The worst is this one lady that never gets any lifting but the last two times i did her fills, the nails lift severely after 3 days or so. The only thing I've changed recently is from using acid primer to acid free primer, but the problems started before this change. I'm really confused because i just can't figure out what's happening. Can anyone give me a hint? I've been thinking it might be a problem with my lamp but the bulbs are only about 3 months old, my last ones lasted almost 12 months!
what's happening?

hmmm...sounds like it might be your bulbs!! They usually have 500 hours in them, wich is approximately 6 months worth for the average tech. Perhaps you have had your lamp on a lot more this time around???? Maybe the bulbs are a different brand...not as long lasting??? Are you still removing the cuticle as thouroughly as before??? Are you dehydrating the nail enough??? I have been cleaning with the dehydrater twice latley and have found this working well for me. Just a few thoughts.
I haven't been using my lamp any more than usual, but it's also the only thing i can think of that might be affecting my work. Well that, and perhaps my lack of inspiration. Lately i just don't enjoy working, i'm kind of fed up with it really. Does anyone else go through slumps like this? I'm fed up and i think it's because clients don't respect my time. I have working hours of 9-7 tuesday to saturday, yet as soon as i have a day off that's when they call me up begging me to take them because they are in need of a fill. And then i either interrupt my day off or else spend the rest of a day in a bad mood because i feel guilty about not helping them out. I've tried turning off my phone but they leave messages. It's upsetting because there is a receptionist at the salon but when she tells them i'm fully booked they still call me.... :irked: I feel like my entire life revolves around these people's nails! It's driving me mad!
