Hi Nicole! I just finished Module 3 but my gel keeps lifting on the ring finger 😩 What am I doing wrong?
You · 2:14 PM
Great work getting through Module 3! 💅 Lifting on the ring finger is super common — it's usually a prep issue. Make sure you're dehydrating the nail plate fully and applying a thin base coat. Can you send me a photo?
Nicole · 2:18 PM
Omg that was so fast! Here's a photo — is the base too thick near the cuticle?
You · 2:19 PM
Spotted it! You're about 1mm too close to the cuticle and the layer is a touch thick there. Leave a tiny gap and cap the free edge. Try it on your next hand and send me the result — you're so close! 🙌
