Also, I want to add, I use the Akzentz trick of only putting protein bond on the end of the nail so that it will soak off. If you put PB on the entire nail, it is harder to soak off. You put the PB on the ends so that you don't have any separation at the free edge.
Hope this all helps! Thanks to Gina for sharing with me last year, just passing on the knowledge and it seems to work from system to system too!
