Lifted product is one of the most common complaints associated with artificial nails. Here’s how to get rid of the pesky problem.

Type of bit to use:  Tapered

1.  Thin down the regrowth of acrylic that’s closest to the cuticle.

2.  Keeping the bit flat, use complete horizontal side-to-side motions. After the product has been refined, use a one-stroke method along the acrylic where the sealed and loose acrylic join and remove any remaining product.

3.  If a small white shadow appears around the sealed, refined product, do not worry. It won’t show underneath the acrylic.  Continue with the fill as usual.
