after 2-3 days!! HELP!!!? I started doing my own acrylic nails about 3 months ago, when I started, they fell off pretty much the next day most of the time. My friend told me I needed a good primer and prep. i got the primer an thats making them stay on for 3-5 days but they still get nocked off easily. i dont use the cheap imported products and my friend told me that im doing nothing wrong that she can think of and she's been doing hers for 6 years! I dont use a cuticle oil as they are very irritating, but I do give my nails a good rub with washing up liquid before applying anything and apparently that does the same thing as any nail or cuticle oil.
nither me nor my friend are pros or students but my friend actually out does most of the local technitians by far and shes had as much training as me!!
somone pleeeeease help!!
I use more than enough glue to keep the false nail tips in place without using enough for the glue to run over the rest of my nail/skin. Imake sure than I pretty much dont have cuticles so that they dont obscure any of my nail so there is no excuse for the acrylic to find ways to lift.
I have used many different products from EzNails, edge, millennium star and NSI. millenium being my fave.
once a set has #fallen off#, I normally give my nails anywhere between 3-5 days rest so they have time to recuperate and to minimize any fungus or potential infection.
# when I say a set falls off, I mean one or two pop off after hitting them against a door handle or something, the rest tend to stay in place and I have trouble pulling them off, the problem mainly seems to be my two index fingers and sometimes one of my thumbs.
I guess if I where to leave the ones that dont pop off on, they would probably last much longer. does that mean there is something wrong with my index nails?
I am getting a gel nail set soon but I just love acrylics sooooo much (smell and all XD)!! ive heared that gels fall off much easier and have to be filled off instead of solking or (as stupid as it is) biting them off.
(soz for making this seem much more complicated)
if it helps at all, I do my own 3D nail art and they always look great! I have sat and studied all the how to vids, read the how to reports/instructions and I do the pretty much the exact same way. (not to be boastful butI personally think that they look just as good as salon nails, my sister got her nails done and mine looked better ^^)
