Your gel application near the cuticle needs to be really, really thin. It is better to apply it thinly, but if you have to, you can file it thin and flush to the nail. I'm thinking you might have it too thick there, all other things being equal. Otherwise it might be your prep.

I have a client that is letting me practice gels on her. I used OPI Axxium gels and sculpted a pink and white set. They keep lifting by the cuticle area. I am making sure no gel is getting on the skin and making sure the nail plate is dry and has no shine. I am using gel base, white sculpting tip, clear on the stress area and pink by the cuticle and over the whole nail, wiping the tacky layer and top coat with the sealer. The lamp is brand new and so are the gels. Please help as I REALLY want to master the gels (Or at least get them to not lift!!)
