What causes my acrylic to sometimes appear cloudy and/or have white spots in it?

Answer

Usually that is caused by the brush going into the liquid with acrylic left in it from the prior ball. Make sure to wipe the brush on a towel that will absorb the excess residue properly. Viva towels or blue Auto shop towels work great. You might also try working a little dryer to prevent the build up in your brush. — Lysa Comfort is president of Charisma Nail Innovations in Encino, Calif.

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?
