- Curing bubbles → Air pockets weaken contact. Reposition before curing.

What if the nail falls between two tip sizes?
Choose the larger tip and refine the sidewalls. Never force a smaller tip onto the nail.
Why do bubbles appear under the tip?
The adhesive amount or placement angle may be incorrect. Remove the uncured tip and reposition it before curing.
What causes lifting around the cuticle?
Common causes include poor sizing, skin contact, trapped air, incomplete preparation, or undercuring. Inspect where the lifting begins before correcting the application.
Can the tips be filled instead of removed?
Yes, the tips can be filled instead of removed. You can fill acrylic nails indefinitely without replacing the tips, provided the natural nail underneath is healthy
Can the tips be painted before application?
Only if the adhesive system supports pre-designed tips. Opaque color or heavy artwork may block the light needed to cure the adhesive completely.
