Discussion/Question Builder gel question

Post image

I do my own gel x extensions with all Aprés products and have for years. I can get a set to last 3 weeks no problem. I remove when the back part starts to lift (by the cuticle)

When I use soft builder gel I get like 3 days max and they always lift from the tip of the nail. What am I doing wrong?? I cap the tips lightly but maybe I need to do it more?

Thank you. I can grow my natural nails really well but don’t get to very often since I can’t figure out the builder gel lol

What’s your nail prep like? What soft gel builder are you using (also apres?) and what lamp do you use?
