Why is my Dip lifting at the cuticle or sidewalls?Updated a day ago

Common causes include Base Coat touching the skin or sidewalls, too much product pooling near the cuticle, or incomplete prep.

  • Start with a fully dry, dehydrated nail plate.
  • Leave a small gap between Base Coat and skin.
  • Clean any Base Coat from skin and sidewalls immediately.
  • Start brush application near the center of the nail and guide product toward the base without flooding the cuticle.
  • Carefully file off lifted areas as they occur rather than peeling them.
