What might cause my client’s Brisa gel enhancement to lift?

Answer

More often than not, techs who call in with this question aren’t using the CND Brisa UV lamp with our Brisa gels. Instead, they might be using a lamp from a different manufacturer. From a chemical standpoint, each manufacturer designs its specific products to work together, so techs often run into issues when trying to intermix the products.

Another common issue is that techs may not be following the proper process when performing a service. Nail techs are concerned with giving the best service, but also with completing the service in the given amount of time, so they sometimes miss an important step. Especially in salons where clients are separating their time for more than one service, techs may feel pressured to speed-up the service. This is when the intermixing of products (such as the UV lamp) from different manufacturer’s can occur.

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?
