Why does the pink get in the white tip when I sculpt nails?

Answer

Why does the pink get in the white tip when I sculpt nails?

Tanis Darling: You are probably brushing product over the white tip in a smoothing motion. Try using a pink ball at the cuticle and a clear ball at the stress area in order to stop the white tip from becoming blurred. Or switch to completely clear product for the bed of the nail. If you are using gels, apply the pink gel solely in the nail bed area and “freeze” it into place before continuing with your enhancement. This way it won’t run into the white tip.

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?
