I just purchased No Lift Nails primer. The instructions say to “use sparingly.” How much should be used per nail?

Answer

We recommend using the brush that comes with the primer or any other small brush. To use, lightly rough up the nail, remove the dust and place the brush just behind the free edge and let the primer flow onto the nail to the cuticle, being careful not to touch the skin. Don’t flood the nail. Let it dry. The second application should dry to a matte finish, then apply your acrylic or UV gel. — Larry Gaertner is president of No Lift Nails Inc.

How can I prevent lifting when my client's hands are constantly in water?

I have a client who is in the medical field so her hands are constantly in water. She has me keep the length of her acrylic nails short. No matter what I do, she always has at least one nail that comes off, and she always has lifting and gets water under the acrylic. I prep the nails correctly, I have a cuticle bit to clean the cuticle area, and I wipe the nail with alcohol, dehydrate the nail, and prime the nail. What should I do?
