Sorry guys I should have explained better. I am cleaning my brush with NAS 99 after the white then after the clear then after the pink and I am thinking maybe I am soaking it too much? I read in my OPI axxium lifting issues that lanolin products and petrolium based products will cause lifting which is why I asked about the paraffin dip. I am getting lifting around the cuticle. I am using Bondex 2 and making sure it is not too thick back there and not touching the cuticle. I use a 180 grit file to go around the cuticle area and the sidewalls then a flex 180 to go over the entire nail. Clean off with a brush the use the nas 99 to wipe the nail clean. I also use the bond aid.:( I guess I will just have to keep practicing. The hard part was I was so excited with these nails because they came out so good (hardly any finish filing because there were not that many divets) and I was so proud of them and thought MAYBE I could start on real clients instead of just practicing to perfect my skill. I also take WAY too long (nealry 2.5 hours) and it should be 1.5 hours for sculpted pink and whites. BUT I am a newbie at this so I will keep going and hopefully figure this out! Thanks guys!
