Question Hi Amber,I'm a professional nailtech licensed in Mexico, I came to US since few months ago and I tried to make acrylic nails for some friends but I had many troubles with lifting after 1 week of application, I've been using some brands from Sally Beauty Supply but certainly I don't know which brand is the best or where can I find it. In Mexico I never had any kind of trouble with the product I use to used there (Lady Nail, Organic) but here I don't recognize any brand and I feel very frustrated because nothing works out and now I'm feel terrible and begin not sure about myself!! In fact I tried with different primers and pre-primers but they doesn't work neither. Instead of wasting time with acrylic I tried with gel (Christrio) but this never dries and when apply top coat gel a few days later they start to crack. Now, What can I do? Could you give me and advise please? Thank you very much.
Answer Hi,
Don't get upset it's not you its the product! Anyone can buy product from Sally's so it is not a very good product!
Do you have your license in the states yet?
Once you get that you can buy from the professional beauty supply houses!
Try looking up

And product wise OPI,LCN,Entity are all good acrylics.
