It could be the brand of gel you are using. "Cheaper" gels tend to shrink more. You could try using a form under the nails to be sure it is pulling out over and past the FE to totally encase it.

Also, my gel video is almost ready! Viewing my technique first hand may help you with your technique. I will be posting purchase info soon.
