I just recently (1 week ago) got a new set of gel forever french using Creative nail products and wanted to know your advice on upkeep. I'm a little picky when it comes to my nails and I always like them to look perfect but I know with this type you're only supposed to get a fill once every 2 weeks. Please provide your advice on how to maintain. And second, it appears inevitable that the base of the gel (near the cuticle) where it starts to grow out, it sometimes appears that it's lifting. Is this normal? There's no actual lifting occuring, it just looks like it in bright light. Please let me know if this is normal and if not, what is the problem and how do I fix it? Thank you!
Answer Hi Jennifer,
Not all gel are created equal! If you want that perfect
look all the time you might want to think about weekly visits
to the salon. First week is your fill the next week just a buff and seal!
This will keep them looking fresh and new all the time!
Now fir the lifting they should not look like that maybe after 2-3 weeks
you might get a small amount of lifting here or there but not after you get them done
creative is newer on the market so I don't feel they have worked
out all the kinks! I wear and use gel and never have the issues with the products
I use!
Look up some of these other lines. To see all the gels avaable and the differences
