Pro tip: it took me 2 hours to figure out my gel polish was curing weird because of my lamp's bulb wattage
Had a client last Tuesday whose gel kept peeling within 3 days, so I re-prepped, switched base coats, and checked her nail plate 3 times. Turned out my 36 watt lamp just wasn't curing the new brand I picked up, and the old bulbs had been fading for weeks without me catching it. Swapped to a 48 watt LED and every set since has held up fine through dishes and gym sessions. Any of you keep a wattage log for your lamps, or do you just replace bulbs on a schedule?
