Cracks in the growth points, lifting and a missing corner. Here's how I repair it step by step, so it doesn't break before the next appointment 💅
✨ Learn with me in Perfect Prep Academy: https://www.skool.com/perfect-prep-ac...

In this tutorial you'll see:
• How to remove lifting safely (tip: work in the opposite direction)
• Why even the tiniest bit of lifting comes back in the next set
• Why I buff the side walls instead of cutting them
• How dust tricks your eyes into over-filing
• Why hard gel on the natural nail lifts, and where the base has to go
• How much nail prep is too much
• The 1 mm step from the cuticle
• Why I never file the cuticle area
• The right free edge thickness: 0.5–1 mm

💬 Tell me in the comments: do you repair cracks with polygel or with builder gel?
