Another way to reinforce a gel nail is to embed a strip of fiberglass across the stress area. I do extensions with fiberglass and gel also. I do this if a natural nail client has one broken nail. It creates an incredibly strong and paper thin extension that blends with natural nails. Katherine St.Louis, MO

Just click this link: http://www.cylantstechnology.com/podcast/vpv.html When you get to the website, Choose the "SGel" video. Vicki explains and shows how to sprinkle acrylic into gel on this video. It will work with any gel, so even if you are not using Vicki's gel, it will work. If you have any questions after viewing the video, you know where to find me! Enjoy!

Some people are just so hard on their nails that they cannot wear gel. I have a few problem children like that! Haha! Good luck!

I just put a tip on her this week for the first time. I prefer to sculpt but she wanted a tip this time so I thought we'd try. I'll put it on thicker across the stress area. If I remember the Brisa info guide that came with the system, this cracking is in the literature. It seems to me it has something to do with improper balance... (I'm still looking for my info from the class.) She does have really rounded nails... almost if you let it grow out it would curl right around to the underside of her finger within a month or so. These seem to be the problem nails. The rest of the set is fine, no cracking or lifting. These nails are not quite as curved as the others... Thanks again.....
