So I do my roommate's nails to keep up with my short nail skills and she told me one of her nails broke weirdly. It was this exact issue! I was able to get out the air pocket using this same circling technique and I was so fortunate that I had watched this video because before now, I probably would have just completely filed and soaked it off. Thank you guys!
Thank you so much Melissa my former nail tech use to tell me that’s nothing and just leave them. So glad I learned how to do my own gel nails and acrylics from YN! I swear my nails have never looked better and healthier 😘😘😘😘
Thank you for this video, I learned a lot. I just repaired a pocket lift last week. I repaired it ok, but I sure wish I had seen your video before I repaired it 😁. Thanks for your clear explanation and repair tutorial🌹❤️!
My right middle finger does that all of the time, no matter how well the nail is prepped. I know it’s lifting in the center because I can actually feel it. Just didn’t know what it was, until now. Thank you !!
it's hard to demonstrate it without having someone who has ski slope nails. we suggest cutting them down as much as you can and preceding as you would on someone with bitten nails. Here is a video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wzra5udVdAg.html
I LOVE GEL NAILS THIS DOES HAPPEN. AMAZING VERY DETAILED AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT STEP BY STEP ALL VIEWS ARE EXPLAINED THIS IS AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💕
Hi Mel always nice seeing you I love your hats and your style! This video came right on time because I just did a new gel set and noticed small pocket lifting on a couple nails. I don't have ski slope nails though and though I do type all day because this was a brand new set I attributed the lifting either to my prep or because my natural nails were too thin so I went in and chipped away at that lifting and filled in those spots much like you showed here tfs!
Thank you so much for the video! I have flat nail beds and just started doing my own nails. I have tried many brands of full cover nail tips and there's always a gap, so when they fall off I get a bit dishearted but watching this just showed me that my nails just require extra steps. How do you go about press on nails? I get a lot as presents but I know they won't stay on because of my flat nail beds.
Honestly the best pond as per team bond and straight acrylic or straight gel built on a form! There adhesions far more superior than any tip glue! 😉😊💅🏻🤩
How would you know you have one with a dark colored acrylic? I get worried putting dark colors without a layer on clear underneath because it's hard to tell if the client is having any issues.
I have clients that have problems turning their hands. Some even do extortionist movements and they look like they're in pain just turning their hand. I've virtually given up asking them to turn their hands.
Try having them put their elbows out to the sides rather than having their arms straight to you. This allows more flexibility and can help them turn their hands comfortably.
Always so informative YN Team, thanks a mil. I Encountered something weird - So my client came back after 6wks due to lockdown in our country, Amazingly she'd only lost 1 nail, however, as you can imagine, the nails were extremely grown out. I took down her acrylic leaving basically a thin layer of acrylic as thick as a tip, went through my prep bases and built her new set with builder gel and 2wks later the gel separated from the acrylic. Any ideas on What might have caused this?
Hmmmm. Weird. That shouldn't happen. Gel can be applied over acrylic. The only thing I can think of is whether or not you applied gel top coat on top of the acrylic before applying the hard gel? Typically you would apply Protein Bond primer and then the base coat, and then build the nail with gel. The only other thing I can think of is if you used base coat gel, but applied too thick. You definitely want it super thin and really scrubbed into the acrylic. Hope this helps!
@@grungeygrunge7971 ahhhhhh....glad you figured it out! Base coat is the most important step in my opinion. I once applied gel over polygel and didn't apply base coat because I assumed both were gel products and it wasn't necessary. But the gel literally popped right off the top after a few days. Try again with base coat and you should be good to go! 💗💗💗
You have to make sure you have enough grit like at least a 150 gray and protein Bon for the child to weave into it and hold onto. If the acrylic is too smooth or not prepped enough gel won’t adhere to it!
She was talking about how the nail glue doesn't stick the tip on all the way and can cause pocket lifting. But if you use protein bond before applying acrylic it helps eliminate the pocket lifting. Protein bond just helps adhere the product better without lifting. It is not used as glue for tips. Hope that helps.
What if you had a crack or lifting on the side of the stress area? Would you repair it the same or would you need to remove and put on a fresh enhancement?
@@mjaydelacruz8496 oh okay , i have thin bendy nails my right hand lifted last time and not really on the left. But i noticed they are chipping near the cuticle? Can i prevent this ? They start lifting after it seems
