I’ve been doing nails for two years using acrylics, and I’ve recently switched to gels but I’m having trouble controlling the gel when I put it on the nail. I know I need to practice more, but is there anything I can do to help get the hang of it?
I have problems with acrylic lifting. I have very good prep and can find no problems with my application. The only thing I can come up with is maybe I put the apex in the wrong spot. I put my apex in the middle of the nail, not necessarily on the spot on the natural nail where the free edge joins the nail bed. Is this the reason why I get lifting around the cuticle? It seems if I put the apex back further (if the nails are long) then they will look a bit silly.
What’s the best way to keep rhinestones on the nail so they don’t fall off as easily?
When you create nail art, do you use nail polish, striper polish, or craft paint?
