How to Create Nails that will NEVER Lift!

Heya Duck in today’s video we are looking at a set of nails I did seven weeks ago on Andrea and how well they have kept. Andreas' nails grow pretty slowly compared to most so for me this would be the equivalent of 3 to 4 weeks of growth but these ones have been on for seven weeks and they are still in really good shape, and there are a few reasons why they have kept so well so let's get into why that is. The first reason is the Prep, when I was prepping these nails I etched the nail with a 240 grit file and made sure there were no areas that were missed, I also pushed back the cuticles and made sure to remove any non-living tissue from the cuticle area, non-living tissue scrapes straight off the natural nail and if you bang your product straight over it that's a point of weakness under the nail, then we have the dehydration of the nail, nails produce natural oils just like skin and that needs to be cleaned away with a dehydrator and remember dehydration only lasts for about ten minutes so do that just before you apply your primer and there are two different types of primer acid and acid-free the acid primer is only recommended for clients who struggle with lifting, the acid-free is recommended for most clients as its more gentle product. Additionally, when you apply the product to the nail the finger is facing down this will help the product move away from the cuticle and prevent creating a step in the product which can catch through day-to-day wear and cause lifting.
