Hi! May be only me i have this problem, but after every second nail the acrylic stuck on my brush, and i should clean it. Thats take so mach time!!! Whats the problem??

i dont do L&P but sounds like you may be working too wet. x

Dessi, your profile say you have been doing nails since 2003, is this a recent problem, have you changed products? or brushes lately ?

Definitely working too wet...try to wipe the brush more on the dappen dish before picking up the bead. Then make sure after each nail that there is no product stuck in the brush......I keep a second covered dappen dish with a small amount of monomer in as a cleaning dish, so that after each bead or as often as I think necessary (this has lessened as time goes on and I work at the right ratio) I can then clean my brush out in that one and that saves me getting powder clouding the main dish (which ultimately means it has started to polymerise in there and means picking up beads gets harder as you do more nails) using this second dish also helps to keep my brush clean...might be worth a try.

Doh ... why do i always forget to read profiles before i answer....if you have been doing nails since 2003 as Nailzoo states then why am i telling you about working too wet...sorry hun xx

I had this a couple of times when I started nails and I wasn't making sure the acrylic was completly off the brush before starting another nail... Acrylic drys pretty fast and will set on a brush fairly quickly so if you don't carefully wipe out the brush after each nail this will happen and the brush will get ruined.
Try to get the mix right and dip the brush in the liquid then wipe on the side of the dampen dish to release liquid then the brush will be ready for the next nail, if it's not this then i'm not sure??

to me is sounds like excess powder leaving a sticky residue in the bottom of the dappen dish, every dip it just gets worse.

I found this was happening to me when i first started the EN course and then i realised i was working to wet,now i dont seem to get it no more!

hi! For sure the products are not old , bought them very soon. I think may be u are right about the second dish, may be my glass is small and the monomer polymerise very quickly. I think i need bigger glasses.
Ty all for helping me

i forgot to say that i quit fixing nails from the begining, was very disaponted, and it was not my fault. In my school the nail technician didnt learn us nothing how i see now. I quit the acrylic cuz everytime i made after 2 days there was big lifting, but noone said me u have bad preparation, word that i heard first time here on this site before 6 mounths, i think, dont remember! Actually to give u to understand for my teacher the prep was" just put little bufer to take out the phisic oil from the nail". So i quited the acrylic. Now i think i have good prep cuz there is no lift! But i;m finding new little problems like this that i make thread. Ty all so mach for helping me
