I have had several issues with gel and even glues from sticking to my nail if getting extensions the last couple of years. I have not done them myself I always gone to a salon and even tried different salons. I’ve had the same color used on fingers and toes and the fingers always lift or chip off in 1-3 days. Could this be related to having a Thyroid condition?

I have the same ? I’d also like to know if I should wipe the tacky residue between each coat, before curing.

So I’m deff having the chipping issue and then noticing that it lifts super easy like it was never seal . Idk what I’m doing wrong from what you mentioned other than maybe washing too many dishes lol but when I get them done at the salon they never lift like that even with my chores ! Could it be the brand ? Is over curing a thing ? I currently use the beetle brand with their light I prep my nails even use a dehydrator and a nail primer before base and I swear they start coming off the next day !! So annoying !!! I also cure for 120 secs reason why I ask if maybe I’m over curing ! Please help me !!!! Btw my toes always last and I do the exact same thing prepping wise

@xameliaxYoutube

Not everyone needs a dehydrator - does the same happen without that? Also could be the brand or technique or curing times - over I’ve not used beetle personally but just make sure you’re following all the steps properly and take it back to basics 🩷🤗

Hi, I’m using mylee gel and for some reason it keeps on lifting in the middle of my two big toes only. The small toes are fine. The left one is particularly bad and I did it 3 times. I watched your video and made sure I’m doing everything correctly. I don’t know what’s wrong with it. In the end I took them all off and went to a nail salon 😢 What do you think is happening?
