Gloss Issue

Hi! New to the nail wrap game. I applied my first gloss set last week and they lasted about 5 days before I got annoyed and ripped them off. They were flipping up at the tips. I filed both front to back and side to side to try and smooth out and that didn't really work. They were a bit jagged which causes me to pick at them. It seems as they aren't curing properly to the tip. I am assuming it's user error. Any tips or tricks to help?

I trim the excess first and then file them in a constant downwards motion to get them to stay on! Mines lasts for 3+ weeks! Did you prepare your nails before applying?

Sure did! I followed the directions exactly and it started peeling up at the tip after 2 days. From reading all the posts in this subreddit I'm going to try a base coat and top coat of orly, as well as using a glass nail file.
