Bio Sculpture Nail Problem

Can any nail technicians give me some help and advice? I've had several sets of bio sculpture overlays done since July which have all been great. The last 2 sets however have blistered, softened and lifted after 1-2 weeks. My nail technician says this happens if they are contaminated by chemicals, but I wear rubber gloves when cleaning etc. The last set she used IBD gel to see if this was any better, but after 2 weeks they are all gradually lifting. Obviously in this cold weather I've been using lots of handcream, could this have caused it? If so are there any handcreams that are ok to use?

    Hi Brenda, I am a Biosclulpture Technician and I think is your hand cream that lifts the nail. The best is to purchase the hand cream from Biosculpture. Also I noticed the gel used to wash hands from hospitals lifts the nails, chlorine from swimming pools.
