Recent problems with Brisa UV top coat shrinking

In the past few weeks, I have had a sudden problem with Brisa UV top coat shrinking and 'pitting'. A lot of my clients request it over L&P enhancements to give that extra shiney look.

I've finished one bottle and am on a new one, so don't think it's the gel. And have only had the lamp for about 6 months and hardly ever use it, so doubt it's the bulbs (could be for all I know though).

I'm applying like I've been taught. Any ideas on why this could be?

Thanks

Thanks Bagpuss. I'm pretty sure that I'm applying it thick enough. Will need to do an experiment to see!

Hi there i have found this happening recently too and i find this normally happens at this time of the year as the sun gets stronger and starts to set the gel as soon as it comes out the pot!

Which is very frustraing. If your applying this just make sure that the blind is down so the sun cannot set and ruin your beautifull work. Hope this helps x
