"Some days all my clients come back with perfect nails, and some days they come back with nightmare nails. What is the problem?"

Dear Tammy,

I have been doing nails for two years, and some days my clients come in and everyone has perfect nails, no lifting, no breaks, no nothing. Then other days, it is a nightmare. What is going on? Please help.

Thank you,

Diane Long

Product application is the number one reason for nails having problems. If the product is too wet: lifting, cracking and breakage occurs. If the product is too dry: lifting, cracking and breakage occurs. If the product is too thin, too thick, too close to the cuticle, etc., you will have lots of problems. The days when your application and ball consistency were good, the nails were great when the client returned. The days when it wasn’t, the clients returned with nightmare nails. On the next couple of pages, I will go over with you everything about product consistency and application. But remember, Practice, Practice, Practice. Beautiful balls make every day a perfect nail day.
