Check to see if your bulbs are old or dirty and check how she is holding her hand in the lamp.
Make sure that she is not getting paraffin or any other moisturizing treatment right before her nail appointment. Is she on new medication or is she stressed out and picking them off? How often is she coming in? She needs to be every 2 weeks if she's a lifter. If she picked them off one time, she could have damaged her nail enough that the gel will not hold. Gel needs a healthy nail not a ripped up one to hold. When I have considered everything and the nails still will not hold up I go back to the basics. I do a meticulous prep, push those cuticles back and scrape the nail plate. I then use acid primer (I like Tammy Taylor's primer best) AND Protein Bond by Young Nails. Let the primer dry to a chalky finish before applying Protein Bond. Did she get an acrylic fill from someone else when you could not fit her in? Even after I have soaked the acrylic off, I have had trouble getting the gel to stick after torn up NSS salon nails. I just do the above prep every time until her nails grow out what was damaged. I also am a huge fan of Light Elegance Fiber Gel for my lifters. I get virtually no lifting regardless of what shape the nails are in.
