hi guys,
Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this....
I bought a few Shellac colours few months back., re restocking favorites and order a few i had yet to try.. one of which was Masquerade, when i opened it to apply to a colour pop.. i noticed the brush was slightly bent but nothing too much, i presumed just the way packed..and it would be fine.
any hoo...when i used on a client first time the brush was really distorted and bent, and the polish seemed thicker than you would expect a new bottle to be... i ensured i had shaken the bottle well too..
after a few nails.. i had to use a nail art brush to apply...
and did notice a few thicker bits in the application... i was fortunate that i was appling to toes and the client was also a friend! it was easier to remove the thick bits without too much problems..
Afterwards i looked more closely at the brush , and it seemed like the shellac had cured in places.,... :Scared:and bits were hard.. obviously by this time id had the bottle a few months and didnt think id be able to return it...
Luckily i had a bottle of another colour thats had finished.. so i cleaned the brush thoroughly and replace into the masquerade.
I used again today, and the brush has bent again.. and its even thicker. and bits of dried even worse!
I store all my shellac on my wall rack in my nail room, in a hair dressers... the climate isnt too hot or cold and all other colours are fine...my only thought is the bottle may not be completely light tight? hope that makes sense..could there be a flaw in the density of the bottle cover? allowing the product to slowly cure whilst on shelf??
I realised iam going to have to throw this bottle away at a loss, and order new..as typically a few regular clients had shown interest in this for their xmas nails!!.
I just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this with same colour or any others??
xx:wink2:
