There is a possibility that the shop is very humid or has more moisture in the air, which could be causing your problems. But it can also be the way in which you are roughing up the natural nail. This act can easily lead to over-filing, which definitely does play a huge part in lifting, especially in the middle of the nail.
The other thing is to be careful when trying so many different products because you might get cross-contamination. Mixing products is not good and leads to service breakdown, and it can be something as simple as using Brush A with Product A then Product B at a later date without really cleaning the brush well, and all of a sudden you have cross-contamination.
Also if it’s only happening on one client then it could be the client is using her nails as tools. There are certain clients who put lots of pressure on their nails and it sometimes causes lifting. Or it could be that she is using a different soap to wash her hands, like a lanolin- or mineral oil-based soap. This can also be the cause of lifting.
