Bad retention with the jello jello peel off base.

Hello, I know this probably has been asked 100 times, but I don't see anyone using the same steps as me and I think that may be the issue.

So I did my nails yesterday. I finished them fully and not even 24 hours later I have one lifting and my thumb nail popped off. I just don't know what I did wrong as I couldn't find any prep videos that explained the steps. Here's what I did:

- basic cuticle prep (removal and cleaning)

- buffed nails

- applied dehydrator (beetles)

- applied protein primer (beetles)

- applied the jello jello base, cured for 60s

- etched the underside of the extensions (modelones)

- used beetles nail glue and cured that for 1m 30s

- filed and melted them with acetone (store brand) at the cuticles.

I used a melodiesusie drill for the filing

I don't know what I did wrong during the process, but I'm just frustrated that they aren't lasting and would like help :((
