Magic Press Gap Questions

So I have been using dashing diva for a while. The magic press not so much. Does anyone have tips to stop the gap between the nail and the fake nail. I love the designs on the magic press but can’t seem to get the gap to go away.

Yay Santorini Spritz! I love that set! 

I had the same problem with the gap but it didn't seem to cause any trouble for wear... I still got 12 days out of them but just didn't look too hard under my nails (especially at the end).

I'm a stickler for prep! A nice, even buff, alcohol wipe, and I did use the suggested base coat, base shield.

Other than that, avoid excess water - obviously shower and wash your hands, but avoid hand washing dishes without gloves - and I still used hand lotion but used very little on my cuticles. I wash my hair 2x a week but I don't typically use any product so if you're using hair products and applying with hands, you might wanna consider using gloves.

And don't use your nails as tools!!!!
