I like to use overlays to grown my natural nail, rather than have tips, I like them relatively short so tips aren't really necessary. My nail tech used a hard gel and dips the brush into acrylic powder, in her words "to make it stronger", I don't seem to be able able to go more than a week without them chipping, even with gel polish on top. I've noticed my nails often feel rough on the free edge, is this the problem?
Should I change nail tech and/or switch to acrylic overlays? I've tried bio sculpture and shellac before and need something stronger.
The choice of nail establishments in my area is nail bars (a few are standard most are non standard) that primarily do full sets with tips, and beauty salons that also do nails who primarily do bio sculpture, CND, Shellac etc.
My nails were done exactly a week ago and I've got two big chips and one small one, they look a mess. I wear gloves to clean and wash up and have a desk job.
Any advice?
