Kim get yourself the sample kit from T.E.N. tuffenuffnails.com. I have been using it for about a month and a half now, and this is amazing stuff. The primer is the best I have ever used. By trying the sample kit you wont be out a lot of money to try it out. The only thing I would recommend getting extra is the diamond shine top coat UV cured tackless sealer. To use as the last step. Incredible shine and you can use it directly on top of your colored gel layers. Good luck let us know how it goes.

I have been working in a salon within a retirement community. It's wonderful. I do mostly manis and pedis but I did do a gel overlay on Saturday on a lady that has sever arthritis in her hands. She loves her nails done but regular polish won't stay on because her nails are peeling at the free edge. So, I put clear gel overlay on her and she was very excited. I cleaned up the free edge and I think I did a good prep. BUT yesterday she came back in and the gel and her nails are peeling at the free edge!!! There is no lifting at the cuticle or the sides. I was aware of capping and thought I had taken extra care in making sure each nail is capped. Also, it seems to be on her left hand, all four fingers and she is right handed. I beleive the peeling is due to bad circulation in her fingers as there is a blue tint to her nails at the cuticle. So, here's the question: Did I do something wrong or is there something else I can use to help her with her nails? I used Nailite extra hard clear gel. I prepped, put on bonding, two very thin coats and cured 3 minutes each. I appreciate any suggestions you wonderful, knowledgeable techs have!! Many thanks in advance!!
