Hi all, just wanted to ask a question about mixing Shellac colours as opposed to layering? I think I read somewhere that you cannot mix them as they are all formulated differently, unlike gels which can be mixed, but as I was playing with my layering tonight on my display wheels , I tried to...

Hello All, I have had 2 friends this week who have come for Shellac with me. They both said they had Bio Sculpture and wanted them removed. The first said that her nail tech did not buff the top coat, so I soaked with acetone pads and foil 10 mins and removed them in about 25 mins., They...

Just finished Shellac on a friend who had Shellac previously applied at a local salon. She told me that the base coat was cured for 120 secs not 10 secs and seemed surprised that that is what I did. Can anyone tell me what effect this would have on her service or on her nails please. Does any...
