I have a client... the one that didn't want to use primer two weeks ago. (we used primer). She came to me last year with a bad set of acrylic nails. Her nails were a chop shop mess. After she got them off and waited a month we tried the gel on her and it just doesn't stay put, I'm just having repeated service breakdown and it's all different but mostly cracking at the free edge and sides (to the best of my knowledge since she picks the thing off and I never get to see what, where or how it broke) She is really difficult to sculpt on. She has no free edge and she has really deep sides, or no sides... where you have to cut your form in the center just to get a reasonable width from side to side... does that make sense? The nail edge is really rounded back and the sides have no sidewalls (or just a little) back to the cuticle at the back of her nail.... Anyway, she tried the gel last year and she had such a mess from before that she just stopped everything and let them heal up. She came back two weeks ago and her nail beds looked great, pink and healthy all attached and a little bit, teeny tiny free edge...(but they still have a funky shape and no sidewalls) so we did the gel sculpted just to give her a better looking nail with a small free edge. She came back after a week and I 4 had broken off. I think most were at the edges... like I said she just picked off the rest that was attached to her nail (did I say she's also a picker with some rough cuticles?) We fixed what she had and now a week later she said there are 4 or 5 off. She said she wants to try acrylic again because she has had better luck with that. She feels it's stronger for her. Which is fine.... I'll do whatever she wants. 1. she has medical problems. Don't know if this is effecting the gel or if it will the acrylic. 2. She said full well tips have worked good for her. (I'm not fond of tips... seems like one more element in the mix to break down or glue cause a reaction.) 3. She desperately wants to clean her nails and hands up so they look halfway decent. once I sculpt it with a little bit of side making the nail wider and not so pointed... they look normal and rather nice. But I'm wondering if my sculpted tip is breaking at the sides because my structure is off? argh... I love this lady... she's so patient and says, "it's not you... it's me... this always happens." But that's not good for me. She's really a challenge & I'd like to get something to work on her. any thoughts would be SO helpful.
