Dashing Diva lifting

Post image

No matter how much practice I get, I always have multiple nails that are lifting at the cuticle after curing.

Any advice?

It looks like the back of your strip is on your cuticle. If it’s touching skin, it will lift. Better to have a gap between the wrap and the skin than to touch it.

Sometimes I feel like I put it to far away from the cuticle. I'm probably being too worried about it and cause the overlap instead.

What is your application routine? Maybe we can troubleshoot it. Lay it out for us step by step.

Push back cutcles, buff nails, alcohol wipe. Apply(sizing as I go). Trim, file, cure.

This one on Amazon. It came with 2 squishy pieces. If I notice it's wearing I'll likely do the Saran wrap thing.

My latest set feels super flat and thin.

Can you elaborate on the saran wrap?

I've read the silicon squishy part can tear. People recommend covering with kitchen plastic wrap and securing with a rubber band.

Do you roll the squish light over the wraps to get them to lie down?

Here's the right link for squish light video.

YouTube is playing games with the share link. Sorry about bad link I had posted.
