Q: Why do acrylic nails lift?
A: To ensure proper adhesion, be sure you prep your natural nails before applying the acrylic. Nails must be clean, dry and free of any lotions or oils. The cuticles must be clean and pushed back. Laying the acrylic on your skin will cause lifting. Lightly buffing the shine from your natural nail will also help adhesion. Be sure the acrylic is completely dry before applying any lotions.
Fire that nail tech and get yourself another.
I do my own nails and my families. My daughter has a nail lifting problem. She has very, very dry skin and is always into the hand lotion so if I don't get all the oils off when I do her nails they lift off within days of application.

Now here is another small tip. Think back here to your fat days.....I bet your hands feel colder now. Cold finger tips keep the chemicals from bonding completely. I put my daughters hands under warm air before applying.

Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me."
