Hi everyone.
Ive noticed that my gelish polish isn't lasting as long on my nails as it used to. My clients havnt complained at all and never come back with chips etc. It's just my nails and usualy just the same one.
I used gelish all the time on my own nails and they always stayed on for ages, then I decided to have hard gel nails which really damaged my nails, now my gelish doesn't stay on for long. I have one finger that will lift after one to two days.
I've got some structure gel, but don't find it actually strengthens my nails.
I sometimes put four coats of colour on if it's a light colour, so all together I have 6 coats of polish on, is this to thick so could cause lifting?
How many layer can you put on before it becomes to many? And does structure gel count as a layer?
Also I've changed the way I 'cap' my own nails, I kept reading that it's not called capping and that you don't actually have to do it. So I brush is over the nail and bring it down over the free edge instead of brushing it across. (This is hard to explain sorry). Will this make a nail lift if you havnt sealed it the right way? Or is it true that it doesn't need sealing?
Can filing the nail after the gel polish is done make it lift?
Sorry for all the questions, I've been trained in manicuring and have done a one day gel polish course but don't feel this is enough so I'm starting a part time course next week. But like I said I havnt had any trouble with my clients, it's just my own nails, usually the left middle finger, I even wear gloves now when using acetone based products.
Sorry for all the questions and how long this is to read and if it's badly written.
Thank you in advance. 😊.

I just had to redo 3 nails about two days ago and one has already chipped! This nail is damaged and weak (right middle finger) it's really getting annoying and embarrassing, turning up tplo client's houses with nails chipped and missing! Xx
