Why Are Acrylic Nails Falling Off? Troubleshooting Tips for Nail Technicians

Question
I am half way thru my nail course and I am doing practice and my nails are falling off after 3 days. What am I doing wrong???
I have asked at tafe but teacher really is not helping me solve problem  

Answer
Hi Bev! There are so many reasons this could be happening, that it's going to be very hard to pinpoint it without SEEING what your doing.

Are you completely dehydrating the nailplate before you apply enhancements? Are you removing the shine with the correct abrasive? Are you working with too wet or dry a mix ratio? Are they too thickly applied? Are you blending the tips?  Are they literally falling off in one big piece, or are they lifting around the edges and then being pulled off?  

Do you see what I mean? ;)
