95% of lifting is from improper natural nail prep. If you followed all of the necessary steps for removing all the dead tissue from the entire nail, thoroughly dehydrated the nail and used the primer in the manner required and you still have lifing then you need to look at your ratio and what those two nails are being used for. Repetitive motions with those fingertips can also cause lifting.

I am not sure if you are talking about product not sticking to an entire nail or a natural free edge. If you are speaking of the product 'lifting' on the free edge of a natural nail there are a couple of reasons this could be happening. Acrylic products and gel will adhere to the natural nail with proper prep but it never becomes part of the nail itself. In time natural oils and moisture can migrate through from the nailbed and cause the bond to break down. On the free edge of a natural nail, these oils and moisture are no longer supplied to the nail plate and the nail begins to dehydrate and 'curl' away from the rigid nail product. One fix for this is to carefully remove the nail from under the acrylic itself. Another is to apply an 'underlay' of acrylic BEFORE the nail begins to curl. This is a very thin application of product which holds the nail tip and prevents most of the curling. If you are sealing the application with gel or even constructing the overlay out of gel be sure to 'wrap' the very edge of the nail in gel and a thin line of gel under the free edge. This wrapping WILL wear away with daily use so you will have to re-wrap the free edge with each fill.
The reason acrylic does not lift off of a plastic tip is because the liquids will dissolve the surface of the plastic tip but as the acrylic cures it becomes one solid object - not an overlay.

Because sometime you did not put primer into nail bed before you apply acrylic.You should apply primer before and wait a few minute make sure file the nail bed hard enough so the primer will stick better ,try it and let me know if it still happen again.
