Since acrylic never fully cures, center pocket lifting is usually a product consistency issue... (Hey guys, help me out here... is it too wet? I don't have my book on me, LOL). Work on your liquid to powder ratio to make sure it is right for the particular product you are using... For example... I use Tammy Taylor which is used really wet. When I used Creative, I had a lot of lifting because it is used drier and I just could not seem to get my ratio right!! (So I answered my own question, it is too wet that causes center pocket lifting!!) We need to have that magical combination of right product in the hands of the right nail tech's natural talent to make for flawless nails. :) Apparently, I like wet ratio products... those are the ones that seem to work best for me... Good luck!

Now I use Entity. I get an air pocket in the middle of the nails. It seems to have got worse lately. That is why I switched to Entity. Seemed to help at first but lately I have noticed air pockets on people that doesn't usually get them. The nails doesn't lift but you can see this big air pocket that I have to drill out. Does anyone have any suggestions to help?
