French Gelish

[sofia_sparkle]

Hi everyone I currently use sheek white and simple sheer for my French which I love but keep getting asked for a more pink negligee colour with no sparkle... Any suggestions as don't want to make a mistake! X

Little princess is a nice pink to use for French.

Do you all do 1 layer pink, 2 white (if 1 isn't enough) and another pink the TIO? Xxx

[Hausofhana]

I do base, pink, white x2 then tio x

Ok thank you :)
Am I right in thinking you need a pink after the foundation layer before the white so that if you have to tidy up your white, you will not remove or disturb the foundation layer? Xxx

I use the pink after the base because it looks horrid on top of white. I only do white first if I'm using Simpler Sheer rather than a pink all over colour. It also helps to dry brush the tip after applying the pink I find as it makes it easier to apply the white tip. :D

Great thanks :) I will be using simple sheer, so do you think foundation, simple sheer, white, simple sheer again the TIO?

That way by having the simple sheer under the white, if I need to tidy I wouldn't remove any foundation xxx

Anyone else find French gelish doesn't last as long as one colour gelish? Or is it just me :( x

It lasts just the same for me. Are you finding the white chipping? If so, it could due to application.

[sofia_sparkle]

I tend to find French lasts longer do foundation white x2 then simple sheer x2 TIO - will need to get this little princess colour

[GlamourEyes11]

Thank you :)
I did have a bit of a problem when doing my first layer of white though!!!
By the time I had finished one hand, the first few fingers I had done on that hand looked like the white had bled, it was really strange, there was no sharp white line, so I had to tidy up with a brush :( does anyone know why this would have happened? X

Yes, that is why I use structure gel.

[Hausofhana]

Yes, that is why I use structure gel.

I see, and this helps it last longer? My French either chips on other folk within 3 days or peels on myself x

Because it is gel! It will bleed if left too long. You could either flash cure each finger as you go...but that is a pain, or do as you are doing and crispen up the smiles with a brush just before they go into the lamp. That is what I do.

Yes it will make it stronger.
Sometimes I do 2 structure.

1x foundation
1x structure or 1x simple sheer
2x white
1x structure
1x TIO

I do white straight on base after dry wiping the it doesn't bleed but only if I'm using sheer on top. If I'm using a pink I do that after base then dry wipe tips so it doesn't bleed. I tidy up smile lines with a gel brush if I go wonky!
