I would agree that making sure all the nonliving cuticle is off the nail is probably key to using any product. There are some cool demo videos where the educator uses various little tools to get the excess cuticle off, and it always amazes me how much there is that you really can't see!!! That being said, the YN people on here should be able to help you make sure your application is right. I am here to mention that maybe YN just isn't for you. I have found that I can use all acid based primer systems well, and I also do well with CND. I have tried YN and I had lifting... I have nearly zero lifting with Tammy Taylor, which is why it is my product of choice. I am not bashing or promoting any brand, what I am saying is that each person has a natural way of doing nails and you have to find the right system to complement that. I really really wanted to like YN because I love the company.... :) I'm excited for you, because once this gets figured out, you will be a happy tech for the long haul!

I am very careful about my prep work. I use y/n. It isn't on all of them. Is product to wet or to dry? Then I get fill lines when I file. I haven't been able to get rid of those awful fill lines. That is my one desire to be able to have them look just like the 1st time they were done! Please help! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
