Hi! Here is a short clip of me applying the nail to my actual client. When watching back, I realized that if I'm using the natural tips (like in this video) that I do not wipe the free edge with the gel before I put the tip on, I just go straight to the cuticle with it. I also realized that a lot of the side overflow typically happens with sculpted tips and on the thumbs. It occasionally happens to me as well, so don't feel bad! It really just takes a lot of practice. Honestly, I used to hate doing the service but now it's literally my most popular one! If you notice you're having some overflow, take the nail off of their finger, wipe their finger down with alcohol, push the gel back in the tip, where you had originally applied it and then try reapplying the nail again!
