Best time to apply brush on white gel???

[ace]

Hi all
I am currently using the edge gel whoch is a self level system and have just brought the hollywood white gel to create semi-permanent french enhancements. Can anyone tell me wen they feel the best time is to apply the white gel????? I have tried applying it as the very first layer which was ok but by te time you do three coats of the pink gel over it it does dull the white slightly...and woundnt this be a pain when it come to a rebalance as you would hve tofiloe right down to re-do the white gel? I have also tried applying it last and the applying just the thin gel sealant over the top, but this way the white gel creates a ridge that dosent cet smoothed out with the sealant??? I have also tried doing the white sandwiched in between the pink gel layers but then when buffing to perfect shape at the end before applying sealant the white gets buffed off!"!!!!! HELP??????????????????????????????

Seems to me that you have just about tried everything. I apply my first layer, then white and although I was trained to then apply my finish gloss it just never worked for me because of the ridge you talk about. So I apply another layer of clear gel over my white and then my finish layer.

This is the way I apply Gel for some people. Check out www.edgenails.co.uk and look for the folder downloads. I would suggest you note your filing techniques.

1. Prep - Apply primer if needed
2. Apply self level gel (pink)
3. Apply white
4. Apply clear builder
5. Shape and buff
6. Apply gloss

Hope this helps
