I am a newbie to gel and trained with akzentz, I have the training kit and have been practicing on my left hand ( can't use my right for the life of me ) in my kit I have options clear, sheer pink, pink top gloss, pain on white, and clear builder. Not using the builder just yet ( had to to qualify but more used to L&P ) I have had problems with lifting, it is peeling off....have been doing prep by the book, when I got my original kit there were a few that were in old packaging, and I had them changed, my nail prep, gel cleaner and bonder is all in a bright pink packaging, was just wondering if this might be old packaging as well, I dont know about shelf life of this product, thought maybe akzentz users could advise me where I might be going wrong, or if maybe I have product might not be performing at it's best due to age?? not saying I am doing it perfectly, I am new to gel, but just a bit frustrated as I am prepping asadvised......any help most appreciated! x ruth :hug:
