IBD Gel Nails Day 4 & 5

Yesterday on of my tips came off, as mentioned in an earlier post. So today I quickly re-did the nail before work since it's such a quick process :)

The nails on my right hand are not looking too good right now. My right hand is getting a significant amount of lifting and cracking....so that's no good.

My left hand looks pretty good though...so I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong. One of the nails on the right hand that has the worst lifting and cracking is because the nail tip lifted when I was using weak drugstore brand glue and instead of redoing it all over I just glued the tip back on so I believe that's why that one is so messed up.

I think I also might've done a messier job on my right hand (because I'm right handed) and maybe I got a lot of the product on my skin which will cause lifting.

I will try and get some pics in tomorrow of my nails in their current state. With the new nail I put on today I cured it in less time. I'm using my LED instead of a UV and LED's cure much faster. I was thinking maybe I over-cured the bonder if that's at all possible so the gel wasn't sticking to it properly.

Anyway we'll see if it makes a difference. Once I get my UV lamp in I'll also test the LED vs UV and see if that makes a difference.
