Personally, after good prep and dehydration I use the YN protein bond, twice. Majority of my clients nails’ stay on 4+ weeks. I do have those stubborn few as well, I’m going to prep a bit more on those clients and see if it makes a difference.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. 😅 Been swamped lately, but I’m finally catching up. Thanks for the tips! 🙌🏾 I’ll definitely check out that YN Protein Bond—using it twice sounds like a solid move. 💪🏾 I’mma up my prep game and see how it goes. If it still gets tricky, I’ll be sure to tweak my prep for those stubborn sets. Appreciate the advice and patience, fam! 💅🏾✨

Hey dear! It sounds like your prep game might need a little tweak. Make sure you're thoroughly dehydrating the nail plate before applying any products—oils and moisture can cause lifting. Also, try reinforcing the apex for better structure and durability. 💪✨

Depending on the nail type! I have oily nail plate! Prep might have to be more aggressive! That works for me! I use morovan for dehydrating! For me I don’t prime much!
