The client is "a picker" and biting on the skin around her nails.
Would it be more picker-proof with Brisa-gloss on top of her Shellac? (I think YES)
:confused: Her nails are healthy and strong.
Thanks in advance,

You could do it, but remember that Brisa Gloss will not soak off ... it's a file off gel and her nails might not be in such a healthy condition if you do that every 2-3 weeks.

My idea :hug:
She will be my first Brisa lite client :lol:
Thanks,

Brisa gloss is a hard gloss so wouldn't that cause the shellac to crack?

Why? IT might crack but I dont see that it would make Shellac crack. Shellac is not brittle.

I was taught that putting a hard gel over a soft gel will cause hairline cracks in the hard gel gloss.

As I said .. IT could crack if knocked or bent .. That doesn't mean it will. Personally, if I need some extra strength I find that 2 coats of top coat generally helps.

I always use brisa gloss on top of my shellac purely because its acetone resistant (got fed up of messing up my shellac with d-solve etc , yes im clumsy) . Never had a cracking issue , never done it on a client though x

This sounds interesting. I may give this a go on my own nails because I feel the same. I wouldn't do it on a client either. And do you just buff off the shine and wrap as normal after 2 weeks?

I do I just buff off the brisa top coat until i hit the colour coat then wrap in the normal way - ive been doing this since october and never had a problem with it x

Thank you, if I don't invest in Brisa light straight away I will do this :)
