      Try using the thick extend gel they offer now.. it really helps.. I use different brand but it's a gamechanger.. if you want to use the regular extend gel increase the amount you use it basically eliminates air bubbles

      Not sure what happened in you situation, but In the tutorial here she applies the glue and creates friction by moving the brush up and down fast, the glue goes from smooth on application to a rough texture, once it dries a bit you can see the logo through the nail in the center and she adds a little more glue at the bottom of the back of the nail, then she places it on the finger and cures for 30 seconds.

      An apex is what provides support for the nail so it doesn’t break. Without an apex you would be in for a world of hurt when you break a nail and it breaks all the way into the actual nail plate. It would do irreparable damage.

    I bought my natural tips and did it last weekend I did a TON of prep around my cuticle and followed all the directions. Most of them started lifting within a week...even tho I got the natural ones there was a TON of space between top of extension and my natural nail. Not put enough product there were bubbles and then i iput more product it oozed out the sides. I hate it because they are such a pretty shape and look so much better than lumpy dip powder. I worked to file critical line so it fit and the sides covered sidewalls completely. I don't know what to do😢

      @elizabeth9841 6 місяців тому +1

      I've been having the same problem and I think the key is getting the glue right and taking your time with the application before you cure. You should be applying the extension slowly and carefully and trying to make sure there aren't any bubbles and before you start curing and if it's not right try again adding or taking off glue from the extension. I've tried like 3 times in the past week and I think my problem was not bothering to check the application was perfect before curing

      You need at least 180 grit on your buffer to ensure there is enough texture to adhere. You don’t want to buff the nail plate smooth. You can focus the buffing on new growth only so you aren’t removing layers from the older growth every time.

      @torischwartz745 Рік тому +5

      For the cuticles u need to have a pusher or an orange wood stick to expose that dead cuticle once it is you can go in and use 150 buffing block or file to gentle go around the cuticle then lightly remove the shine from the nail
      Make sure to use a cleanser on the nail plate like yn swipe or u can use 91% alcohol I dehydrate then bond and prime my natural nail only
      For etching the tip a diamond bit works best especially a long flame bit that can get into the pinky nail very well to etch or u can chemically etch the nail with a primer I do both if I do gel x nails hope this helps hun or almost forgot u have only 14 mins from the time you remove the shine to finish prepping and gets the nails on otherwise our natural oils start to come up to the surface of the mail again 😊

Use alcohol to cleanse after removing all cuticle from the nail plate and “scub” the base into your nails. If they lift at the free edge, you need more adhesion help.
