Whoa! I have never tried doing a tip extension under Shellac!
I do fix and patch corners or little cracks sometimes with L&P though.
So would you just apply the tip and blend as usual (or blend little less?) and go straight to the shellac base?
Ps. I'm delighted to read about Brisa Lite

Hi Anna! I apply the tip and fill the seam with a little bit of adhesive and activate with some resin activator. Then I blend the tip well area and smooth the tip and nail together ( but obviously I do not blend or thin out too much; just meld the tip and nail together with a 240 grit file). Then Shellac as normal.Whoa! I have never tried doing a tip extension under Shellac!

That tip extension will last me a full 3 weeks and by the time I soak off (which takes no more time than the usual 10 minutes) the free edge has grown out and I don't have to replace the tip.
Like you, I also patch corners occasionally with a thin thin layer of L&P which also works a treat. :hug:
lol... i thought I was being inpatient! gigi you are making me chuckle so much thinking about some kind of tense hostage situation with you handing over a baby in exchange for some brisa lite!!
I'm sure geeks have seen already but Holly has posted the Brisa Lite Sculpting instructions.. what really intrigues me is that neither brisa lite product appears to make use of the 90 / 180 lamp timer buttons as we expected - so cure times are quicker than I thought and we have something more to look forward to and speculate about in the future!

Lol, except he is hardly a baby - in fact, fast-approaching a teenager, I'd say!
Our babies are always babies :wink2: mine will still be my baby even when he's 40 :lol:

Its perfectly right. That would be the normal amount of time for for a SOG enhancement (or a L&P enhancement) which is a 3 week service not a fortnightly service and perfectly acceptable as it always has been for clients for the last 20 years. Now with the new CND Nourishing Remover it is even more acceptable.
CND always quote the longest scenario though, to account for different thicknesses of product as people vary. We all know that for most of us Shellac soaks off in less than 10 minutes but 10 is what they quote.
With Brisa Lite Sculpting gel you are moving into the enhancement category of nails ... It's different to UV colour coats. Full service Nail technicians will understand it very well.

I wonder if you would file them down a bit first?

If you have sculpture training with a diiferent gel brand (for example Bio Sculpture) will it then be possible to do a Brisa Lite conversion course to be able to use Brisa Lite Sculpting Gel? I'm presuming there will be a separate Brisa Lite & Brisa class:?: I for one will be doing this ASAP as Brisa Lite sounds like its the product I've been dreaming about and will hopefully replace my other gel system.:Love:

Hiya, I know we are moving away from filing(thank god/ boring/RSI in shoulder ha ha) but would partial filing not touching the natural nail do any harm? Or is it just the principle of not using a file at all x

When filing here is always a potential for harm, but in good hands, no, it would not do any harm .. but it is how clients perceive having their nails filed on the surface; if you are going to cut someone or do damage to the nail plate you are going to do it as this stage with your file. PLUS it is messy, time consuming and not necessary! Why do it if it is not necessary?
Sounds flipping brilliant to me just wish it would happen now :Scared: Im dying to try it on my clients. Im so much more confident with OPI and Shellac than I am with acrylic. Im sure Im just one of those people that will never master acrylic fully. I will get by but never be excellent at it.
But gel I love so Im going to move as many clients as is possible to gel asap. Come on CND save this ladys mind lol xx
