Yep, you're description is right on, Becky. Well I had this happen this past Sat. I had done a mani, but after the mani I had her wash her hands, cleaned the nail plate with alcohol, then I took the shine off the nail. I also used YN protein bond. You think that have been the cause? Surely there wasn't any oil left on the nail after the washing, alcohol and filing off the shine?
