Hi everyone, this is my first time on here and have been wanting to come on here for ages. I have started doing Calgel nails (trained last July) and am finding it a real challenge - i never realised just how much goes into a set of nails, and bow to your experience and expertise.!I have done a lot of sets of overlays now, but the vast majority of clients are experiencing the gel lifting ( including myself when i do my own nails) despite spending a good half hour preparing the nail beforehand(is this too long?) as I am a bit of a perfectionist.
Also, on the rare occasions when i have done an infill, the clients always say how thick the gel looks afterwards, and I realise this myself but i don't know how to thin it down without filiing all the gel off. am i being too scared of filing too much? its just that it seems like you are filing the gel off as you file into it. Can you advise on the best type of file to use for an infill? I would really appreciate any advise as i work on my own and could cry about this sometimes! thankyou!
