French issue! Gel/acrylic pro advice needed!

[Miss Sylk]

Hello, this is a problem I have been trying to overcome for quite some time now!!!Some of my clients who I do acrylic base or acrylic extensions on can't seem to keep white tip French soak off gel (gelish/trugel) overlay on over the top!!?! Heavy handed???

I'm not good at sculpting the white tip with acrylic ,so is there a method that I can use where I could do the acrylic overlay/extension then use a hard Gel French white over??? Will this be tougher than soak off gel over acrylic? It won't chip?

Personally I've never come across a client who hasn't been able to keep gel polish on their acrylics it's very unusual. When you apply it are you doing it over a rough surface ie just after the acrylic has been filed and buffed? Also I don't tend to use a base coat when applying over acrylic and it works for me x

Me too, but I had a colleague did apply ph bond after acrylic overlay before the gel polish once and the gel all came off. She never do that again.
